A story of the paranormal and the occult, inspired by true events…    Starring: Mae Whitman, Helen Baxendale, David Morrissey and Miles Heizer.   In the small town of Hexham, England, in the middle of the afternoon of June 13th, 1957, two little girls named Maud and Mary Pollard are hit by a car and killed.

They begin attending church twice a day, praying for some relief from their pain.    When God doesn’t answer, Thomas is persuaded by business associate Mark Whitney to try the dark arts of the occult. Within no time good things start to happen; Thomas’s work situation improves, they can afford to move home, a new start in life… and Frances is pregnant again with twin girls.   Nine months later Jacky and Jill are born.
