A journalist named Charlie Cannon (Jack Reynor) and his wife, Larissa (Laia Costa) are struggling with parenthood. But things take a turn for the worse when their young daughter goes missing, seemingly being abducted by a mysterious woman known as the Magician (Hayat Kamille) during an Egypt escapade. Katie (Natalie Grace) is hoodwinked and does not return to her parents, who are worried sick, and so 8 years pass without any trace of her.
The young child is placed alive inside a sarcophagus as a sacrifice for a demon and cannot be retrieved by anyone, including the authorities. Such is the plot of the film The Mummy, a reimagination of the original by Lee Cronin. The daughter comes knocking at the Cannons, returning to them, albeit in a way they never imagined. Even as she is returned to their home, mysterious happenings start to occur.

Her parents, initially helpless, end up taking it upon themselves to save their children. Charlie takes the curse onto himself, which finally frees Katie and her siblings of it. However, he now carries the evil power of Nasmaranian and has to be contained inside a coffin. The ending shows him captured in a basement, however the monster is unable to take total control, so he can communicate with his family via Morse code.
