3 years ago, Sam (Emily Albright) found her roommate killed by a religious fanatic who called himself the Saviour (Joe Gordon), who then also threatened her and called her his chosen one - until he was arrested by detective Nash (Aaron Reisner), that is.

Now, Sam seems to be in control of her life again, she's a bartender, runs a domestic violence-self help group on the side, tries to save her friend and roommate Julie (Dominica Wasilewska) from her abusive boyfriend (Anthony Sabatino), and she has a boyfriend, Josh (Cory Schiffern) who seems to be very much in love with her. Then though, the members of her self-help group and their abusive boyfriends start getting killed off one by one, plus Julie and her boyfriend die - and everything looks as if the Saviour was back to his old tricks - thing is, he's still in prison, as (now ex-)detective Nash confirms.

Ultimately, Sam heads to the country with Josh to evade the madman ... only to find out that it was no one else but Josh who did all the killings, as he has met the Saviour in prison and has fallen under his spell. Then though the real Saviour, who has just escaped from prison, shows up, kills Josh, who he claims has misinterpreted his teachings, and then goes after Sam, whom he wants to carry his child - but in a concerted effort, Sam and Nash, who arrives on the scene just in time, can kill the Saviour.

Run-of-the-mill cheap slasher that tries to be so much more - what with the self-help group and the domestic violence subplot - and delivers just more of the same. Plus, the movie features a few too many characters to realy stay focussed on its main story. Add to that an uninspired directorial job and a bad sound quality (even considering this is a no-budget independent production) - and you are left with rather little.
