Complete story — includes the ending

In 2013, Bill Toler, a brick mason, is assigned a job at a local penitentiary in Baltimore, Maryland. A spirit attaches itself to Bill when he cuts his finger on his saw in an old execution chamber room. He returns to his home in the suburbs of Pasadena, Maryland, where he lives with his wife Amanda and his toddler son Colin. He's also the father of two other sons, Corey and Byron, from a previous relationship whom he has shared custody with. Amanda hears a banging noise and whispers calling her name one day as she's hanging up pictures, and at first, believes it's Bill calling to her. Late at night, the couple hears footsteps from upstairs. They know it's from Colin, who was asleep, or the other boys who were back with their mother. Over the following weeks, Amanda and Colin begin to feel their energy being drained, immediately going to the couch when they enter the house together to take a nap. Amanda has nightmares of finding herself being strapped to a gurney and facing death by lethal injection. Bill wakes up one night receiving two scratches on his back. Corey and Byron have an experience when they return to the house where they see a shadowy face on a black garbage bag looking at them. The Tolers call in John Drenner, Jr. (featured in two previous episodes: "Devil Inside Me" and "Curse of the Mummy") to help them. John investigates the house and feels the spirit is demonic. He finds Colin in the kitchen interacting with it which is calling itself "Rodicon". John urges Amanda not to say the name or else it'll give the demon more power. John cleanses the house; however, it doesn't work when Colin continues to interact with the demon. The family calls John back who brings a demonologist, Mike Stevenson, to give further insight on the matter. He discovers Bill's tool bag in the basement and feels they need to bless the tools that the demon attached itself to. Later on, Colin has a nightmare of the demon pushing him in front of a car. The couple goes to see a psychic who already knew about the nightmare before they could tell her and advises them to get out of the house. The Tolers leave the house and move into another.
