A church is defaced with goat's blood, the pastor and his family disappear, and several townspeople begin having terrifying visions of deformed infants.
Soon, a seemingly unbalanced evangelical preacher named Brother Elias comes to the town to preach about the end times.
As the terror mounts, Elias convinces Gordon, the sheriff, and the new pastor to join him in his quest to stop Satan from raising an army of deformed infants.
It seems that the devil has the power to corrupt the unborn into horrible servants of darkness, and over the centuries hundreds of these stillborn children have been buried in the hills surrounding the town.
At this time, Elias also reveals he is not human, but an earthly servant of God whose role it is to stop Satan from assembling his army.
