Synopsis
In this prequel to THE OMEN, a young American woman travels to the Vatican to work at an orphanage, hoping to find her true calling within the church. When she takes a troubled young girl under her wing, the woman encounters a darkness lurking within the child that makes her question her own faith — and suspect a conspiracy that may run to the heart of the Catholic Church itself.

Interesting facts
(at around 8 minutes) When Maggie arrives in Rome, Cardinal Lawrence informs her that riots are taking place among the Italian population, driven, among other factors, by students who are dissatisfied with the state and the Holy Church. This is historically accurate: following the social upheaval in Paris in May 1968, unrest spread to other countries across Europe. In Italy it persisted from 1969 until the late 1980s, a period known in the country as the Years of Lead.
