The film follows the story of Katherine and Angela, who go to school one day and then go missing. The last information about the friends is captured on the school CCTV camera, showing them leaving for home together.

After a desperate search, they are found three days later, but the girls feel like they have only been missing for a few hours.

Their unusual behavior raises concerns for their parents, who become convinced that their daughters are possessed by demonic spirits. They turn to the church for help, but their efforts prove futile.

Angela's father, Victor, then seeks assistance from a woman who has had a similar experience with demonic possession. She suggests that an exorcism is the only way to rid the girls of evil spirits.

The twist here is that the demonic spirit is the woman's own children. The movie explores whether they can successfully remove the cores and bring Angela and Katherine back in a spine-chilling way. The official synopsis of The Exorcist: Believer, quoted by Universal Pictures on YouTube, states:

“Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding has raised their daughter, Angela on his own. But when Angela and her friend Katherine, disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil"

It further states:

"And, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before Chris MacNeil, an actress who has been forever altered by what happened to her daughter Regan five decades before.”
