Synopsis: Dr. Jennifer Stillman (Kinski) is a New York City therapist who takes a job as an elementary school psychiatrist in the rural town of Sierra Vista, Nevada. Her presence is greeted with a collective cold shoulder, and it soon becomes clear that this backward little town has a deep, dark secret that its inhabitants are determined to keep buried. When she befriends an odd and gifted young boy, Dr. Stillman finds herself in the middle of a battle between a vengeful and horrifying monster and the unspeakable evil at the heart of the town itself.
