Plot

Alison Parker, a beautiful but severely neurotic high-fashion model (Raines) moves into a gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone house that has been divided into apartments. The house is inhabited on the top floor by a reclusive blind priest (Carradine) who spends all of his time sitting at his open window. Alison begins having strange physical problems, and has trouble sleeping at night, and has some nasty flashbacks of her attempted suicide. She complains to the real estate agent of the noise caused by her strange neighbors, only to be told that the house is only occupied by the priest and herself, and ultimately discovers that she has been put in the house for a reason. Things only become more unreal when she discovers that she and the neighbors are not the only inhabitants in the house, and they may not be of this world.

It turns out that the building is owned by the church and is a gateway to hell. The blind priest is the guardian who ensures that the devils and archangels do not escape. Its time that a new guardian needed to be appointed and the church chose Allison as she had the perfect background, having attempted suicide twice in the past. The devils try to induce Allison to commit suicide to ensure there is no successor to the blind priest.

The movie ends with Allison surviving to protect the gateway but has to turn blind to do so.
