Based on the popular novel by Howard Engel, Saul Rubinek plays Benny Cooperman, a scruffy private investigator hired to find a millionaire TV evangelist. His investigation leads him to the northern wilds, where a series of grisly murders disturbs the idyllic surroundings. Along the way Benny stumbles into some interesting characters, including a famous evangelist on the lam, his put-upon mistress, a weird sexy woman, and a complex charming old lady. Naturally, Benny suffers some misadventures trying to navigate the bush country, much less solve the case. The discovery of a hidden cache of dynamite and a strange confession lead Benny to finally unravel the horrifying facts behind the mystery.
