Lawyer Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) defends a priest, Father Richard Moore (Tom Wilkinson), charged with negligent homicide for his spiritual oversight of the care of penitent Emily Rose, which included a failed exorcism and which ultimately led to her death. The trial begins with prosecutor Ethan Thomas extracting testimony from a series of medical experts. One expert testifies Emily was suffering from both epilepsy and psychosis. The defense contests that she may have actually been possessed, though they treat it delicately. Defense counsel Bruner explains that both medicine and psychology had failed Emily, and the family had to seek help through the Church. Several flashbacks show how Emily's problem originally began.
