Synopsis

In 1981, nineteen-year-old Arne Cheyenne Johnson claimed that the devil made him murder his landlord, Alan Bono. Featuring first-hand accounts and raw footage of supposed possession, this chilling documentary explores the first and only time that ‘demonic possession’ has been used as a defence in an American murder trial.
