In the Nevada desert, a couple, Peter and Mary Jackson, are driving just as a sheriff, Collie Entragian, stops them. He soon learns they possess marijuana, though Entragian may have planted it. He takes them to jail. After entering the police station, they see a little girl dead on the floor, and Entragian shoots and kills Peter. Mary is thrown in a jail cell along with a young boy, David Carver, his parents, Ralph and Ellen, and an old man, Tom Billingsley. The little girl is the Carver’s daughter, named Pie. In the meantime, in the police station, David kneels and prays to God, his practice since a drunk driver struck his best friend, Brian. Meanwhile, Steve Ames is in his truck, following famous author Johnny Marinville. Ames is Marinville’s assistant. Steve soon picks up a young female hitchhiker named Cynthia Smith.
Johnny stops in the desert to urinate just as Entragian shows up behind him and plants the same bag of marijuana he got from Peter and Mary in Johnny’s motorcycle bag and arrests him. Back in the Police Station, his mother, Ellen, asks David why he kept on praying. David revealed that he prays because God made “his” presence known to him by miraculously saving his friend Brian from the brink of death. He then recollects that a drunk driver hit Brian when he and Brian were riding a bike. David immediately began praying to God, offering to sacrifice anything and to do whatever was asked of him so that his friend be saved. At that point, Brian miraculously regained consciousness. The doctor at the hospital described Brian’s recovery as “miraculous.” Later, David realizes Entragian’s skin is breaking out, and he keeps saying “Tak” because he is possessed. Entragian then takes Ellen so he can shift his spirit into her body.
