A mysterious stranger with a magic touch descends upon the small town of Antioch and the town is slowly divided by his seemingly supernatural presence in director Robby Hensons adaptation of Frank Perettis best-selling novel. Despite the fact that he may have the power to heal, the charismatic stranger nevertheless radiates a strange aura of menace and malevolence. Some believe him to be the one true messiah, and others dismiss him as a false prophet sent to seduce the souls of the weak. When the events in the strangers remote revival tent take a turn for the sinister, its up to a fallen ex-minister to re-connect with his faith and reveal the suspicious stranger for what he really is. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
