In a remote Appalachian town, a defrocked priest is called to investigate the church at the heart of a growing mystery. The parishioners claim to witness miraculous healings and visions of a divine presence, but the priest soon uncovers a darker truth. Beneath the altar lies the body of Elarin, a long-dead woman venerated as a saint, her corpse miraculously preserved. The town's unshakable devotion to her rituals and the eerie miracles they claim to experience lead him down a path of spiritual horror, revealing that Elarin was no holy figure — but a vengeful spirit, born from betrayal and twisted by time. As the priest unravels the secrets of the church, he becomes entangled in a final, forbidden ritual that will either seal her power forever or unleash her fully. Hollow-Blessed is a chilling tale of faith, sacrifice, and the monstrous transformation of belief.
