Synopsis

The story begins with the Howards, a young, married couple living in New York. Craig, an unpublished writer, and Samantha, a school teacher(Heather Graham and James Purefoy), are desperate to have a baby and are financially strapped. Their hopes are dashed when Samantha is diagnosed as infertile and the couple can't afford the medical treatments that might allow her to conceive. Just when it seems their dreams will end, the couple are given the opportunity to receive free treatments from a new, and relatively unheard of, fertility clinic. The Spiritius Research Clinic is in Lakeview, a small town two hours away, and they move to the clinic.

It soon becomes clear something is amiss. In the laboratory where the couple's eggs and sperm samples are being mixed, the scientist takes a large, engraved metal needle and injects a red substance into Craig's sperm without the couple's knowledge. After the treatments, they are overjoyed when it is discovered Samantha is pregnant with twins.

Earlier in the film, Craig was introduced at a party to book publisher Earl Sidney. Suddenly the publisher wants to publish Craig's book and offers Craig $100,000 as an advance.

The pregnant Samantha begins feeling unusually painful scratching from the unborn twins. She is also suspicious of her husband's new business associate and friend. She feels ignored and distanced from Craig.

A hooded stranger is stalking Samantha. Samantha becomes friends with a priest, Father Carlo. It is he who tells Samantha she is the unknowing victim of a pact with evil. The book publisher and the scientists at the clinic are connected to "The New Light of Dawn" church, a secret devil-worshiping cult. The red liquid injected into the Howards' test-tube pregnancy was the Devil's DNA. The cult plans to kidnap the babies shortly after birth and raise them to eventually destroy mankind. Father Carlo tells Samantha to drink a special liquid that can save her, but she splashes the liquid in his face, which burns his face, and smashes the glass against his temple. The crazed priest chases Samantha, in a car, throughout the clinic. He crashes through one operating room to another until crashing into Dr. Leeds' office. Gasoline spills on the priest as he tells the doctor "He who walks with Satan shall burn in Hell" and then sets himself on fire with a lighter.

Samantha and Craig escape. Five years later, they celebrate the birthday of their twin daughters with a party. One of the guest children (disguised himself as the Devil) teases one of the girls but soon, he chokes on a grape and dies. Samantha stares at her twins in horror, wondering....
