[2] Nature photographer Cliff Benson is found dead in the woods near the town of Hyde River, with his head and torso missing.

His wife, Evelyn, is found covered with blood and half-crazed on a logging road and taken to a hospital, where she only has vague recollections of the events that transpired.

Cliff's brother Steve quickly finds holes in the theory and teams up with local sheriff's deputy Tracy Ellis.

Bly drugs Benson's beer and takes him prisoner in an attempt to purge the town of Christianity as their ancestors did years ago.

As Harold Bly and his followers watch in awe, the dragon attacks Benson with its fiery breath, but he does not suffer any burns.
