After the younger sister Liz is missing in Appalachian mountain, Charlotte enlists the help of Wayne to find the trace of Liz. The search leads them to a church. The cardinal is Billy with the mysterious tenet: Snakes are worship of cult, the savior of believers. Wayne penetrates the church, exposes the deceit of Billy, saves Liz out of Billy’s hand. He is attacked by fanatic believers and by the vengeance of the cardinal.
The horror-oriented turns one might expect from these filmmakers never really arrive, and the eventual plot revelations feel a bit undercooked even for a straight thriller.
