Religious film about a gentle stranger (Tony Goldwyn) who comes to a small town where everyone knows everyone else, but there is little sense of community. The stranger begins to rebuild a Christian church that was destroyed during a storm and as people join in on the project, they discover what it is to be a good neighbor. They also watch as the stranger performs what seem like miracles. Based on a novel by Joseph F. Girzone. Also with F Murray Abraham, Kurt Fuller, Giancarlo Giannini and Jordan Allen. [1:30]

A man talks to a dead man and rubs his chest and the man doing the talking goes weak. A man places his hand on the forehead of a woman and she convulses. A man holds a woman's head; he seems to go weak and then stumbles to his knees.
