In 1928 Pennsylvania, sixteen-year-old Billy Kelly falls under the spell of a mysterious traveler who claims to be a messenger of God. Chad Lowe is Billy, a teenager drawn to the stranger’s authority, while Donald Sutherland’s Doctor Reese folds religion, medicine, and threat into one unsettling figure.
