As an introverted art restorer succumbs to the evil temptations of an ancient painting, otherworldly forces attempt to stop her from unleashing the painting's unholy power.

SYNOPSIS:

Beatrice Matheson works as an art restorer at a major museum. For years she has buried herself in her career while ignoring her own artistic gifts, choosing to live a life of mediocrity. But her quiet, unassuming life is turned upside the day she begins cleaning the museum's latest acquisition. She is stunned to discover a second painting lies hidden beneath the surface image, a painting that no one has seen in centuries.

Fascinated by her find, Beatrice enlists the help of a nerdy colleague and her brother, an ordained Catholic priest, to unravel the truth behind the painting's origins. Their efforts reveal that underneath the visible landscape on the canvas' surface hides an unbelievable treasure: the last known painting by one of the most reclusive Renaissance Masters of all time.

As Beatrice uncovers this lost masterpiece piece by minuscule piece, people who have come in contact with the painting begin dying under horrific circumstances, each one overcome with visions from beyond. Her every attention focused on the painting, Beatrice is oblivious to the mounting body count, until she can no longer ignore the truth: that this is no mere image on canvas, but a mystical barrier between this world... and the world below.

As the walls between reality and the unknown collapse around her, can Beatrice find the strength to resist the painting's temptations, and save the world from destruction?
