2007
Loan officer Christine Brown denies an elderly woman a mortgage extension, leading to a demonic curse that promises three days of torment before she is dragged to hell. As the demonic attacks escalate, Christine seeks help from a psychic who explains the curse can be transferred by gifting a cursed button. Christine attempts to bury the button in the old woman's grave, believing she has ended the curse. However, her boyfriend Ray inadvertently swapped the button, and Christine is ultimately dragged to hell by the demon at a train station.

Stephanie Browne, Ray DaltonYeah, right after I informed the main branch that we had this big loan pending,,I find out that they just made their deal over at First National. I got a call in to see, what exactly happened but right now this doesn't look too good for you or me. So this assistant manager promotion has been delayed. In fact, I think that with everything that's been happening, I'm gonna have to give that job to Stu.
There are Gypsy blessings that are bestowed upon the dead... And the Gypsies give gifts to their departed to curry favor with the deceased soul. Yes. I do believe you could give the curse to someone who has passed on... for truly, the soul never dies.
The conscious mind abhors uncertainty. It seeks a pattern or reason for everything. When we can't find that pattern or reason, we sometimes ascribe it's cause to the world of the supernatural.
I mean she's just a teller at some bank right? Raymond there's a reason that your father and I raised you in a certain way. We have expectations.
It's an absolutely, positively, forget about the shoes already, "no way". They're my only good pair and I need them in good shape for tomorrow.
Stephanie. It's Jim. Jim Jacks. Sorry I'm calling so early-- but Last night I found some troubling information about our friend Stu Rubin...
But Ray, it was very strange. At the bank today. The old woman... the one I told you about... she plucked the button right from my sleeve.
So technically, your employer is an American company. I think we can make this work. I'll call you this afternoon and let you know.
