In the Fire

Overview

A New York doctor journeys to a secluded plantation in the 1890s to help a troubled boy exhibiting mysterious powers. As she delves into his treatment, tension escalates between scientific reasoning and religious beliefs. The local priest, convinced the child is under demonic influence and responsible for the village's misfortunes, vehemently opposes her efforts. This clash of ideologies not only challenges the doctor’s convictions but also threatens to unravel the very fabric of the community, as fear and faith collide in a gripping battle for the boy's soul.
