Indiana Jones has hung up his hat and has been teaching archeology at New York University for a few years now. While waiting for a divorce, which weighs like the mourning of his son, Professor Jones drags himself to work and into an ordinary life ‘shaken’ only by the noises of the neighbors.

Mediating between the two positions is the Pope (Franco Nero) himself, who sends Amorth to Spain, where inside the abbey of San Sebastiano, according to the report of the presbyter Father Esquibel (Daniel Zovatto), a possession is in progress demonic...
