Devil in Ohio is a thriller that follows the story of a young girl named Mae who takes refuge in psychiatrist Dr. Suzanne Mathis's home. But her entry into the house soon turns the family's life upside down as Mae tries to take Jules, Suzanne's daughter's life.
Jules then finds that Mae is a survivor of the strange cult in a nearby town, and they will not stop at anything to get Mae back again. The official Netflix synopsis for the series is as follows:
"When hospital psychiatrist Dr. Suzanne Mathis shelters a mysterious cult escapee, her world is turned upside down as the strange girl’s arrival threatens to tear her own family apart."
