Plot

Former minister Travis Jordan lives in Antioch, Washington, three years after losing his faith in God when his beloved wife was murdered and the criminals never found.

Suddenly, miracles happen in the little town: the new veterinarian’s son survives an accident whilst in a van without one single scratch, Travis’s dog Max revives after being buried, a paraplegic walks, and a scarred teenager and her police officer father (who has a brain tumor) heal.

In all these events, witnesses see either a group of three men wearing black nearby or their tall, (possibly) blond leader, who seems to want everyone to know that “he is coming”. Soon after, a scruffy, gentle-mannered newcomer named Brandon Nichols arrives. He implies through his healing work and preaching that he is Jesus Christ or the better version of the messiah.

The local population soon worships Brandon, while Travis and Morgan feel that something is wrong and conduct an investigation, disclosing that evil has possessed the town dwellers.
