Fear No Evil Plot Summary

What happens in Fear No Evil from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Rafael / Father Damon, John Holland, a Roman Catholic priest, murders a man outside a castle-like estate on an island in upstate New York. The victim claims to be Lucifer himself, and promises to return. Decades later, in 1963, Andrew Williams, [Stefan Arngrim], is born. After his mother is paralyzed under mysterious circumstances, Andrew’s father realizes something peculiar about his son, eventually coming to the realization that Andrew is the son of Lucifer.

In 1980, as a senior in high school, Andrew is academically brilliant, but withdrawn and socially awkward. Consequently, he is often bullied by his peers. Andrew feels drawn to the estate where Father Damon committed the murder, which is due for demolition for an impending golf course.
