The film opens with a bloodied and terrified priest slowly making his way across the bodies of thousands of dead soldiers. There are many crows and hyenas roving around the bodies. The priest reaches the dead body of another priest and tries take a small demon idol of the head of Pazuzu from his hand, but, suddenly, the dead priest briefly comes back to life and stops the living priest from taking it. The camera pulls back to reveal that the entire valley is littered with dead soldiers, many have been crucified upside down. The movie then cuts to Cairo, Egypt in 1949, where the young Father Lancaster Merrin (played by Skarsgård, who played the same part in Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist) has taken a sabbatical from the Church and devoted himself to history and archaeology as he struggles with his shattered faith. He is haunted especially by an incident in a small village in the occupied Netherlands during World War II, where he served as parish priest: near the end of the war, a sadistic Nazi SS commander, in retaliation for the murder of a German trooper, forces Merrin to participate in arbitrary executions in order to save a full village from slaughter.

François Perrin est un petit journaliste énonçant les nouvelles à l'antenne de RTL. Seul dans la vie, sa seule « distraction » est son voisin de palier qui lui tient la jambe de temps à autre. Mais un soir d'ennui, il décide d'appeler un numéro de téléphone au hasard. Il tombera sur Christine, pharmacienne un peu vieille fille, qui après avoir hésité à raccrocher immédiatement, se prendra au jeu du charmant inconnu à l'autre bout du fil. Après un rendez-vous manqué, il cherchera à la côtoyer en se faisant passer pour un grand reporter, tandis qu'il continuera à lui téléphoner sous les traits d'un grand écrivain, afin de ne pas la décevoir sur sa petite condition. Pendant ce temps, elle devra se dépêtrer de sa vie familiale, mais surtout de celle de ses proches un brin encombrants.
