Slick but empty story of a "faith healer" who is hired as a clown at a birthday party for a terminally ill boy with leukemia. He cures the boy, then sticks around to have an affair with his mother, the wife of ambitious, and crooked, politician David Hemmings. The "faith healer" has all kinds of ridiculous supernatural powers which he uses to torment the politician and other people he doesn't particularly like. He is shot multiple times but doesn't die, rising from the dead for one last attempt to kill the bad politicians. It all plays out like bad Brian De Palma.
