The movie is set in 1952 in Romania, where a nun is found dead under mysterious circumstances at the Cârța Monastery. The Vatican dispatches Father Burke, a priest with a troubled past, and Sister Irene, a novitiate on the verge of taking her final vows, to investigate. Upon their arrival, they are greeted by Frenchie, a local man who discovered the nun's body. Frenchie helps them navigate the remote countryside to reach the monastery. As they approach the abbey, they encounter signs of evil, including a sinister presence that seems to haunt the area.

At the monastery, they meet the remaining nuns, who are wary and secretive. Sister Irene begins experiencing disturbing visions, including one of a demonic nun. Father Burke reveals that he has encountered this same demon in the past and is haunted by his failure to exorcise it. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover the dark history of the abbey and the demonic entity known as Valak, who has taken the form of a nun. Valak seeks to escape its confines and wreak havoc on the world.

Father Burke and Sister Irene race against time to uncover the abbey's secrets and stop Valak before it's too late. Along the way, they confront terrifying manifestations of evil, including possessed nuns and demonic illusions. Through a series of harrowing encounters, they learn that the key to defeating Valak lies in confronting their own fears and doubts. With the help of Frenchie, they devise a plan to banish Valak back to Hell and restore peace to the monastery.

In a climactic showdown, Father Burke sacrifices himself to save Sister Irene, allowing her to banish Valak and seal the abbey's portal to Hell. Sister Irene and Frenchie escape the monastery as it crumbles around them, narrowly avoiding the demonic forces within. In the end, Sister Irene returns to her convent, forever changed by her experience. Frenchie, now free from the demon's influence, continues his life in the countryside. However, the evil presence of Valak remains a looming threat, ready to strike again in the shadows.
