The show is set in modern-day Britain and the main protagonist is Father Jacob. He is a priest who is struggling to come to terms with the death of his mother and the guilt he feels for not being able to save her. He is also haunted by the ghosts of his past, which makes it difficult for him to connect with a higher power. Despite his own inner turmoil, Father Jacob is dedicated to his work and is determined to rid the world of evil. He believes that he has a calling to perform exorcisms and is not afraid to put himself in harm's way to save the souls of those who have been possessed.

Cardinal Bukovak is a high-ranking member of the Catholic Church and is Father Jacob's superior. He is a man of great power and influence, and he takes his responsibilities very seriously.

Monsignor Vincenzo is a Vatican representative who has been sent to investigate a series of supernatural occurrences in the UK. He is a man of great faith and believes that all things are possible through the power of God.

Michael/Astaruth is a demonic entity that seeks to gain control over the souls of humans. He is a powerful force of evil and is capable of manipulating the minds of the weak-willed. He is a dangerous adversary who poses a significant threat to Father Jacob and his allies.

Sister Ruth is a nun who becomes Father Jacob's confidant and ally. She is a woman of great faith and is dedicated to helping others. She provides Father Jacob with emotional support and helps him to navigate the difficult world of exorcisms.

Apparitions is a dark and intense show that explores the themes of good versus evil and the spiritual battle that takes place between them.
