Brad Dourif gets out of the Army and returns to his rural home in Georgia. He finds his house and most of the town abandoned. He goes to the nearest city and follows around a blind street preacher and his daughter. He becomes a street preacher himself, calling it the Church of Truth Without Christ. He speaks on street corners, shacks up in a boarding house with the girl and drives around in a beat up car. He has confrontations with other street preachers whom he doesn't like very much, even running over and killing one of them. He tries to run away from it all but his car is wrecked by the police. He returns home, blinds himself, wraps his torso in barb wire and lives with an old lady. It all takes place in some kind of alternate reality where nobody acts normal and a lot of words are misspelled.
