In a night club Dr. Seth Ember approaches a middle aged man named Henry and asks him what time it is. Dr. Ember reveals that time has not and will not advance, and then gives Henry a gift given to him by his partner at a law firm. Henry suddenly realizes that he is actually dreaming, and Ember reveals that the woman Henry has been with is a demon who has possessed his body. Dr. Ember and Henry are immediately attacked by two bouncers, but manage to escape and with Henry's help return to reality and free him from the demon possessing him. In the waking world it is revealed that Dr. Ember is actually wheelchair bound and now has a burn mark on his wrist from where the demon grabbed him in the dream world. Dr. Ember's assistant Oliver warns that the demons have started to adapt to Dr. Ember's efforts and that soon he may not be able to escape back to reality.
Dr. Ember is approached by Camilla, a representative from the Vatican, who asks Dr. Ember to exorcise a boy named Cameron Sparrow. Ember refuses stating that his methods are not "exorcisms" and is uninterested, but Camilla reveals that the she believes the demon is one Dr. Ember knows named Maggie. Ember scoffs at her and asks her to leave, but later he visits a priest named Felix to question whether the demon could indeed be Maggie which Felix affirms. Felix offers Ember a vial of blood from a possessed man which, when injected, would allow Ember about 10 seconds of lucidity - just enough time to commit suicide, but Ember refuses to take it.
Dr. Ember travels to the boy's apartment with Camilla and meets Cameron's mother, Lindsay. The boy's mother initially refuses to submit to an exorcism, but Dr. Ember explains that he does not exorcise demons but evicts them by entering their host's subconscious to make them realize they are dreaming. Ember further explains that demons do not have the power to truly control those they possess and instead lull them into comforting dreams so they will be unaware while the demon uses their body. Dr. Ember then visits the possessed Cameron and confirms that he is possessed by Maggie and that the demon recognizes him. Later that night Dr. Ember reflects on his own dead wife and child, and puts on his son's crucifix.
