The premise

Katherine Morrissey, a former Christian missionary, lost her faith after the tragic deaths of her family. Now she applies her expertise to debunking religious phenomena. When a series of biblical plagues overrun a small town, Katherine arrives to prove that a supernatural force is not behind the occurrences, but soon finds that science cannot explain what is happening. Instead, she must regain her faith to combat the evil that waits in a Louisiana swamp.

Horror Vault's take

A former missionary turned religious-phenomena debunker is called to a remote Louisiana town where the Ten Plagues of Egypt appear to be manifesting in terrifying succession. Armed with scientific tools and deep-seated doubt, Katherine Morrissey struggles to rationalize increasingly inexplicable events unfolding in the swamp. What begins as a routine investigation quickly becomes a confrontation with forces that challenge everything she once abandoned. The bayou holds a darkness that no textbook can prepare her for.
