When Maggie O'Connors (Kim Basinger), a nurse in a psychiatric ward, discovers that members of a satanic cult have kidnapped her autistic six-year-old niece, Cody (Holliston Coleman), she commits herself to fighting against the forces of evil in order to get the child back. A local police detective, John Travis (Jimmy Smits), makes the connection that Cody has the same birthday as several other missing children in town and sets a course for tracking down the satanists.

From a genre perspective, the film practically doesn't work as a horror at all. It could be accepted as a weaker thriller with fairly ambitious acting performances. Unfortunately, it is dragged down by a terrifyingly unprofessional screenplay and impotent direction. If the studio was counting on Kim Basinger, it was a mistake because - at least judging by this film - she has had her best days. Since effort alone is not enough, the overall rating is at a mere 25%. ()
