[edit] Plot

This movie takes place in the small town of Antioch, where strange things have been happening. A young man named Michael Elliot (Noah Segan) is in a terrible car crash but survives. Travis Jordan's (Martin Donovan) dog dies and then rises out of the grave. There is dirt shaped like the face of Jesus in one of the hotel showers. Every time one of these weird things happens, there is a man who looks like Jesus standing in the background. There is a man named Brandon Nichols (Edward Furlong) who can heal people's problems by just touching their hand. When Brandon takes Travis's dog, he and Morgan Elliot, (Kelly Lynch) a new vet in town, chase after him. They go to his house to talk to him about what has been happening. While Travis is talking to him, Morgan goes upstairs to try to find Mrs. Macon (Ellen Geer) Instead, she finds the dog, who seems very mean all of a sudden. She looks in Brandon's room and sees lots of weird things, like barbed wire. As Morgan and Travis are leaving the house, they hear screaming. Darlene Henchle (Hillary Tuck) is there, and she has a huge cut on her forehead. She says that Brandon assaulted her. They take her to the emergency room. The people in the town have to find out about Brandon's past and figure out who he really is.
