The Gatekeeper

A young woman named Danielle has been given shapeshifting ability as a teenager following an occult ritual. She subsequently assumes the persona of Desiree, a cunning seductress who entices unsuspecting men. Desiree diabolically plots to drain them of everything they have of value–their wealth, their reputations, and their relationships–as a form of revenge for an unspeakable horror perpetrated on her as a youth.

Desiree discovers she is as much a victim of the powers of darkness as the men she seduces. There seems to be no escape for her until she meets Joshua, the director of a local youth center and assistant minister at his father’s church. Although the powers of darkness drive Desiree to destroy Joshua through a series of attempted seductions, Joshua stubbornly refuses. He is convinced Desiree can be freed from the dark entity that controls her.
