The movie begins in 1905, where we see a man named Thomas on a train.
He had a letter from his sister Jennifer which she had written to his father.
In this she had told that she has been kidnapped and held for ransom by a mysterious cult in
Welsh island.
Thomas came back home from a trip after many years, where he came to know that his father
was becoming very sad and sick in the sorrow of his children.
Thier family lawyer had given him Jennifer's letter and now he is on his way to the Welsh
Island to rescue her.
Now Thomas reaches the place from where he had to go to the Welsh island by boat.
There were many other people who were going to that island.
Now the person checking the ticket tells them not to take any printed material, ornaments
or documents to the island.
Here Thomas notices that his ticket has a stamp which is not on the other people's tickets.
He cleverly exchanges his ticket with another traveler and then he sees that a mark is being
put on the luggage of the person with whom he exchanged the ticket.
Now the next morning he reaches the island where at the harbor he sees that the man with
whom he had exchanged the ticket is surrounded by some guards.
Then they reach the Erisdon village.
Here they are asked to line up where they are then physically examined.
Then some information like their name, age and criminal records are noted from them.
They then welcomes them by giving them an empty bottle and bread.
Now after reaching his room, he finds a book which was about Eridson.
Now Thomas is on his way to the church for Prayers where he sees some guards taking that
man inside a house.
Then Thomas reaches the church where we see Melcom, who founded the cult with two other
convicts, Frank and Quinn.
He tells that the government had sentenced them, But they somehow escaped from there
and came to this island.
Here they found the goddess of this island, Who gifted him her wisdom, and entrusted him
that he may enrich their minds.
Just then, Thomas and Melcom notice a woman walking outside the window.
Then a man comes there and tells something in Frank's ear after which all three of them
go to meet the man with whom Thomas exchanged the ticket.
He was tortured heavily and Frank says he didn't say anything about money.
Now here Malcolm understands that they have caught the wrong man, so they kill him by
slitting his throat.
Then Malcon tells them that there is an intruder between them and they have to find him.
Next, we see Jeremy, frank's son, and Ffion, Quinns daughter.
Both of them were having an affair and they also get intimate here.
That night Thomas peeks into people's homes to learn about the island, from which he learns
that people pour their blood into those empty bottles.
Then he goes outside Malcolm's house and sees that he is going to a secret celler of his
house.
Now he starts leaving from there but then he collides with Ffion, and seeing Jeremy
also there, he understands about their affair.
Now after reaching his room, he takes some blood from his neighbor's bottle and puts
it outside his room.
But while opening the lock, his finger gets cut due to which some of his blood drops falls
down.
And then after some time we see that someone is trying to drink his blood.
Inside, Thomas tears the pages out of the book and makes a map of the village.
On the other hand, we see Malcolm, who has gone to a place in the forest by a secret
tunnel.
The next morning, Jeremy comes to call Thomas to work and asks him why he was hanging out
at night, to which Thomas says he was having a cigarette.
Jeremy then asks him for his help in chopping a boat, where Thomas shows him Jenfer's photo,
seeing which he starts leaving, but when Thomas asks angrily, he tells that she has been kidnapped.
He says that he saw her on his boat a month ago.
Frank had told him that their crops were not growing and the animals were not giving children,
due to which they have to import food for the island and for this they need money.
The father of this girl is very rich, so they will take money from her father in exchange
for her, so that they do not die of hunger.
Now Thomas asks him why didn't he help her?
To which Jeremy says that he is weak and cannot fight Malcolm's guards.
He then tells him not to give them ransom money.
Now Thomas tells him not to reveal the secret of his being here to anyone and he has to
help him too, or else he will tell everyone about his affair.
Next, we see Malcolm's daughter Andrea, where Fionn tells her she is pregnant.
On the other hand, Melcom invites all the new citizens to the church so that he can
find the Intruder.
Here he asks those people the verses written on his Bible, which Thomas did not know.
Thomas now takes out the knife for his own safety so that he can kill him when he comes
close to Malcolm.
But before that the man next to Thomas tries to attack Melcom because King had sent him
to kill Melcom.
But Thomas tries to stop him and is injured and Melcom's guards stabs tha man, now while
dying he says that this place will burn.
Malcolm then takes Thomas to his house where he asks Andrea to put stitches on his wounds.
Malcolm thanks Thomas for saving him, and they begins to worry that the king might send
his army to start a war.
Now as Andrea is putting up Thomas' stitches, Malcolm tells Thomas that he will avenge the
attack on him.
Quinn then says that he has to find the Intruder and also find the ransom, to which Melcom
asks him to collect the girl.
Next, Malcom parades Jennifer across the village to find the Intruder, saying it's a spy who
came to destroy their community, and her partner is still hidden among them together.
If he doesn't come out then this girl will be killed.
Now Thomas is unable to go out even if he wants to and he gets very angry.
Now the next morning Jennifer is made to sit at the entrance of the village where the children
start harassing her.
Malcolm has arranged a festival for the night so that when everyone is celebrating, he can
search their rooms to find Jennifer's partner and Ransom's money.
Now Andrea takes food for Jennifer and scolds the children and drives them away.
She promises her that she will not let her get any harm and then she leaves from there.
Then Thomas sees the guards take Jennifer away and Thomas tells Jeremy to be ready.
Now in the night when everyone is celebrating the festival then Andrea comes close to Thomas
and asks him who is he?
But he does not answer her and leaves from there.
He then joins Jeremy to make a way inside the tunnel that was under Melcom's house.
On the other hand, they are searching Thomas's room where Malcolm finds a map made by Thomas
and he understands that Thomas is in the tunnel.
Thomas gives Jeremy a knife and tells him to use it if he has any problem.
Now Thomas walks in, and while Jeremy is closing the tunnel, Frank sees him, but he drives
him away before the other two arrive.
Then Malcolm tells Frank to go inside the tunnel with a gun and tells Quinn to stay
outside and guard.
And Melcom himself leaves to go to the other side of the tunnel in the woods.
Here, inside the tunnel, Thomas sees a pit filled with blood, and from the other side
of the tunnel, he hears the sound of a horse.
He understands that there is someone above outside and he also feels someone's arrival
from behind.
That's why he hides in the same bloody pit.
Frank reaches the end of the tunnel looking for Thomas and shoots him, at which point
Melcom tells him it is him.
On the other hand, inside the pit, a scary woman comes in front of Thomas and starts
moving towards him, now seeing this, Thomas gets very scared and starts leaving from there
and reaches a cave.
Here he sees some symbols on the walls which are related to the goddess.
Malcolm goes to a room where he finds an old lady tied to the roots of trees.
In fact, this woman is the goddess of this island.
He gets angry at her and asks why did she reveal herself in front of Thomas.
Then he makes her drink his blood and tells her that she will no longer spoil their crops.
Here we also see a man wearing a mask who is carrying a body while dragging it.
On the other hand, when Thomas regains consciousness, he sees Andrea there.
She gives him clean clothes to wear and when he is changing, she sees marks of wounds on
his body and asks him about it.
Thomas tells her that he was a Christian missionary who was persecuted in Peking during the Boxer
Rebellion for introducing Christianity to China, and lost his faith as a result.
At that time everyone except Jennifer had left him alone, so he too would not leave
her alone anymore.
Andrea wants to help him but he says that her father wants to kill him, to which Andrea
says that his dad is not like that.
Thomas tells her that she is deceived, his sister is neither a cheater nor a spy.
She did not come here herself, but she has been kidnapped and brought.
Andrea then takes him to a shack in a wheat field to hide.
On the other hand Ffion reveals to Jeremy that she is pregnant, on which both of them
decide to run away and get married.
However, Quinn sees them together and beats Fionn to ask what she is hiding from him.
And when he comes to know about her pregnancy, he gets very angry.
Now when Jeremy comes back there after some time, he is shocked to see the dead body of
his son there.
An enraged Jeremy attacks him with a knife and the two start a fight, but Quinn comes
out asking for help and blames Jeremy for Ffion's death, frightening Jeremy to run away.
and the guards run after him to catch him.
Then the Quinn tells everyone that Jeremy has to be murdered for the purification ritual.
He tells them that melcom is not the prophet and orders them to obey his orders.
Here Frank is preparing to leave the island because he felt that living here is not good
for Jeremy's future.
Malcolm tries to stop him but Frank says what he did is wrong.
This community is over now.
Here Jeremy runs away, reaching Andrea and Thomas but the guards take him away and they
are both unable to help him.
On the other hand, Quinn prepares for the ritual, where they puts Jeremy on a table
and he kills him by drilling a hole into his head.
After his death, the Quinn inserts a rose petal in his head.
Then after some time Frank and Malcolm also come there and Frank starts crying very badly
after seeing the dead body of his son.
Malcolm angrily asks Quinn why he did this?
To which Quinn calls him a false prophet and demands that he prove himself by killing Thomas.
Now Malcolm walks towards Thomas with a knife to prove himself but Andrea stops him from
doing so.
She says that Thomas is not her enemy, but does not listen to her and is about to kill
Thomas, when Frank comes there with a gun and starts to kill Goddess, taking advantage
of which Thomas frees himself.
runs away in the forest.
Now Thomas sees the goddess in the woods and is five behind Frank to the barn where the
goddess is kept.
But then a gunshot is heard and Frank comes out injured.
He asks Thomas to burn the barn and then the masked man kills him.
Now seeing him, Thomas hides in a pit and from there comes out inside the barn.
Then Melcom and Quinn arrive and Quinn shoots the man in the mask, but when Melcom stops
him, he shoots him too, causing Melcom to faint and fall into the tunnel.
Here Thomas sees that the mask man is forcibly feeding jeremy's blood to goddess.
Then he goes to a sack hanging on the other side which contains Jennifer.
But then Grinder comes there and hits Thomas and knocks him unconscious.
And the Quinn takes Jennifer along with her.
On the other hand, Andrea is making love to God when an unkown man comes there.
On the other hand, when Thomas regains consciousness He finds himself tethered to a meat-grinding
table by hooks embedded into his hands and legs.
Now when the grinder operates the grinding machine, Thomas's hands go inside the machine,
due to which his hooks come out and he frees himself and attacks the grinder and then kills
him.
Here The Goddess shows Thomas her history with the cult, they used to forcibly feed
blood by sacrificing animals, which brought greenery to their village.
and begs him to set her free, he grants her wish by immolating her.
Now Melcom also regains consciousness and comes out of the tunnel and sees the barn
buring.
Quinn reveals to a captive Jennifer and Andrea that he imprisoned The Goddess after he and
Malcolm realized her powers.
He then reveals that when the blood of animal stopped working, melcom tried to feed her
his blood.
Quinn plan was to repeatedly impregnate Andrea and Jennifer and use their offspring as blood
sacrifices.
Then he hears a noise and when he goes to check, he sees that the fire has spread all
over the village.
Here a lady tells Thomas that the Quinn has taken Andrea to church.
Then he goes to the church where a fight ensues between him and Quinn, now Quinnis about to
kill him by overpowering him but then Andrea and Jennifer get themselves free and together
kills Quinn.
Then all three of them run towards the boat, but due to severe injuries, Thomas is unable
to move forward and he asks both of them to leave without him.
He asks Andrea to pray for him as he had regained his faith in God.
Jennifer and Andrea get on the last boat on their way to leave when they hear a very dangerous
scream and with a blast a lot of blood comes out of a mountain.
On the other hand, Malcolm comes to Thomas and they see that, as he bleeds onto the ground,
the vegetation around him grows and infuse within his body, while his eyes turn the same
shape and color as the goddess's, signifying his rebirth as the new guardian of the island.
