The premise
Up-and-coming senator Nick Rast's young son is terminally ill with leukemia. A mysterious faith healer, Gregory Wolfe, appears and seems to cure the boy. Rast's wife Sandy falls in love with Wolfe, but the powerful interests behind Rast's career, represented by geriatric monster Doc Wheelan are less happy with events.
Horror Vault's take
When a charismatic and enigmatic stranger arrives in the life of an ambitious senator's family, he appears to perform a miracle — drawing a desperately ill child back from the brink. But Gregory Wolfe is no ordinary healer, and his influence over the senator's household quickly unsettles the powerful forces pulling strings behind the scenes. This Australian psychological chiller blurs the line between genuine mysticism and elaborate illusion, keeping viewers guessing about what — or who — Wolfe really is. Part political thriller, part supernatural mystery, it builds a creeping dread from its shadowy portrait of manipulation and belief.
