Bless the Child (2000)

In the humming heart of New York City, Maggie O'Connor, a dedicated nurse, leads an orderly existence grounded in practicality, her world untouched by the mystical notions of good and evil. This equilibrium is shattered one stormy night when her estranged sister, Jenna, leaves a newborn infant on her doorstep. The baby girl, Cody, diagnosed with autism, becomes the daughter Maggie never had, a beacon of innocence and love in her once solitary life. Six years of peace shatter when Jenna resurfaces, now tethered to a shadowy new husband, Eric. In a whirl of confusion and heartbreak, they abscond with Cody, leaving Maggie bereft and helpless. Yet, her fight for Cody draws the attention of FBI Agent John Travis, a seasoned connoisseur of ritual homicide and occult crime. As Travis delves deeper into Cody's case, a chilling pattern emerges. Cody shares her birthdate with other recently vanished children, but it's not mere coincidence. Cody, the seemingly ordinary child, harbors extraordinary powers – powers that have been coveted by the forces of evil for centuries. Her abduction ignites a fierce battle between these unseen forces, a war between light and darkness. "Bless the Child" unfolds as an epic tale of love and courage, where the fate of the world rests on the small shoulders of a child. The strength of Cody and the unwavering love she instills in those around her become the only hope against a malevolent cult hell-bent on harnessing her supernatural abilities. In this harrowing journey, the lines of the mundane and the mystical blur, revealing a world where the power of good might be the only thing standing against the ultimate evil.
