Plot

The sadistic serial killer Patrick Channing (played by Jeff Kober), known by most as the Pentagram Killer, is at large in Los Angeles, killing innocent people as a sacrifice to Satan. His specific MO is engraving a pentagram symbol into the flesh of his victims before killing them.

Detective Russell Logan (played by Lou Diamond Phillips) is determined to bring the Pentagram Killer to justice. He receives an anonymous phonecall from a psychic called Tess Seaton (played by Tracy Griffith) who can "feel" where he's going to strike next. Taking her word as correct, Logan goes on a stakeout and manages to track down Channing's lair. Logan manages to capture Channing, but not before taking a nasty stab wound to the chest.

Logan manages to recover from his stomach injury and Channing is given the death penalty by the authorities and is killed in a gas chamber. However, since Channing is a worshipper of Satan, Satan grants Channing The First Power -- resurrection. Channing returns from beyond the grave and is able to appear or disappear at will, as well as possess others. His highest priority -- get his revenge on Russell Logan.
