What is The Baby in the Basket about?

The synopsis for the movie reads, “It’s 1944. A baby in a basket is left on the step of an isolated monastery on a remote island off the Scottish coast. The mysterious woman who left the child disappears into the stormy night without a trace, never to be seen again. Discovering the little boy, the nuns take him in and agree to look after him until the storm passes and they can take the child to the mainland. However after a night in their care, unsettling things begin to happen and one of the nuns, Sister Agnes begins to suspect the child is the son of the devil. Locked away by the other nuns, who believe Sister Agnes has been driven mad by the isolation, she is haunted by the presence of the child. Has Sister Agnes fallen victim to the desolation of the remote island setting, or is there weight in her suspicion?”
