Then he meets Lilith. The two share an instant connection but after a wild and passionate night together, she ghosts him. Jordan searches the city for Lilith, desperate to see her again. But when a woman claiming to be Lilith shows up, wearing a different face but knowing intimate details about Jordan, he worries he's losing his grip on reality.

"It's no secret that Clay McLeod Chapman has one of the biggest hearts in horror, but with DEVIL INSIDE he's serving us the whole thing on a silver platter.
