Georgetown, Washington D.C. Actress and divorced mother Chris MacNeil starts to experience difficulties with her usually sweet-natured eleven-year-old daughter Regan. The child becomes afflicted by spasms, convulsions and unsettling amnesiac episodes; these abruptly worsen into violent fits of appalling foul-mouthed curses, accompanied by physical mutation. Medical science is baffled by Regans plight and, in her increasing despair, Chris turns to troubled priest and psychiatrist Damien Karras, who immediately recognises something profoundly malevolent in Regans distorted fetures and speech. On Karrass recommendation, the Church summons Father Merrin, a specialist in the exorcism of demons . . .
