A supernatural thriller set in South Carolina, South Of Hell focuses on Maria Abascal (Suvari), a stunning demon-hunter-for-hire whose power stems from within. Like those she hunts, Maria is divided within herself, struggling with her own demon, Abigail, who resides inside of her, feeding on the evil Maria exorcises from others. Maria and Abigail share a soul and a destiny, but as Maria desperately tries to overtake Abigail, she will discover how far Abigail will go to remain a part of her.

Maria’s birthday. Blindfolded before a swinging piñata, she hits it and tears it open. Odd, unsmiling children swarm around the candy. Suddenly, Maria is swept into the arms of her father, who whispers in her ear: “You’ll always be my baby girl, no matter what.” It isn’t sweet.
