A Cry For Help

In the Middle Ages, unexplained behavior was often blamed on demonic possession and witchcraft. Exorcisms were common, and evil was regarded as a real force that sought to corrupt the human soul. Modern society has largely dismissed those beliefs, yet the Catholic Church continues to receive requests for formal exorcisms from people convinced that something beyond science is at work.

When a deeply disturbed child is admitted to Bellevue Hospital, renowned child psychiatrist Dr. Marco Conti believes he is facing another tragic case of severe mental illness. But as strange and terrifying events begin to unfold around the girl, every medical explanation starts to fall apart.

Forced to choose between the certainty of science and the possibility of an unimaginable evil, Dr. Conti must confront a question he has spent his career denying: Can every illness be explained by medicine, or are some battles fought against something far darker?

A Cry For Help is a chilling supernatural thriller that explores the uneasy boundary between psychiatry, faith, and the terrifying possibility that not every darkness originates in the human mind.
