Robert Thorn, portrayed by Liev Schreiber, is an American diplomat stationed in Italy, grappling with a devastating loss. He believes that his son has perished shortly after birth, a tragedy too heavy for his wife, Katherine, played by Julia Stiles, who remains in a state of unconsciousness. To alleviate her pain, Robert agrees to the suggestion of a Catholic priest, Father Spiletto, to clandestinely adopt a newborn whose mother died during childbirth. They raise the adopted child, whom they name Damien, as their own.
