Summary
When Kathy Thorn gives birth to a stillborn baby, her husband Robert shields her from the devastating truth and substitutes an orphaned infant for their own--unaware of the child's satanic origins. The horror begins on Damien's fifth birthday when his nanny stages a dramatic suicide. Soon after, a priest who tries to warn Damien's father is killed in a freakish accident. As the death toll mounts, Robert realizes his son is the Antichrist and decides he must kill the boy to prevent him from fulfilling a cataclysmic prophecy.
