Biography

In 1979, Nida works at the department store Possetts in the English town Tipley. While selling shoes, she fantasises about hurting her xenophobic coworker, Vicky, and an unsettling customer, Keith Holligan, who killed his wife.

Nida is alienated by the Conservative, anti-immigration politician Michael Smart and vandals who paint the fascist National Front symbol on her door. Forced to eat her biryani in the basement after Vicky complains, Nida pricks her finger on a drawer handle and bleeds over a bone talisman.

In her flat, the talisman speaks to Nida and she releases the demon Gaap, on his first assignment. Gaap takes the form of Bobby Farrell from Boney M. Nida has three days to make three human sacrifices; failure will lead to world destruction on May Day. Nida refuses to participate, even when Gaap shows her apartment in flames, and flees to a canal. Gaap tells Nida that a passerby, Tim Simons, molests his eight-year-old daughter. Nida kills Tim with a brick.

Nida vomits with guilt and is late to work, where Gaap urges her to kill again. That night, she drinks scotch at her local pub. Nida follows Keith as he urinates in public; he invites her to his house for sex. She bludgeons him with a hammer and kills his brother Chris when he arrives home. Gaap calls a technical support line and is told that Keith's death does not count, as he was a murderer, so one sacrifice remains.

Smart, whom Nida's boss supports, visits Possetts and wins Vicky's vote. Gaap shows Nida a premonition: Smart becomes Prime Minister in an upset victory as leader of the ultra-nationalist Britannia Party. Though demons are fans of Smart, and Gaap insists that she choose someone else, Nida insists on targeting him.

The police officer Len Fisher investigates Tim's murder. He learns of Nida's uncharacteristic drinking, which Nida claims was due to the anniversary of her deceased mother's birthday. He follows Nida by car as she tails Smart after a public speech. She rams Smart's car, causing him to crash, and attacks him with a hammer, but Len approaches and Nida puts the hammer down.

At the police station, Nida tells the disbelieving officers about Gaap and the talisman. Sirens blare at midnight as nuclear warfare is seen. Nida agrees to join Gaap – who is outcast after failing his initiation – in an eternal void.
