At church on the day of her First Holy Communion, little Karen Spages (Brooke Shields, Pretty Baby) is accosted by a diminutive figure in a yellow slicker and Halloween mask. The fiend strangles the child, hides her body and sets it on fire (using a church candle), and rips a cross from her neck—a cross given to her by Father Tom (Rudolph Willrich, The Number 23), the young and popular priest in this New Jersey parish.
It's an unthinkable crime, and there is only one suspect: Karen's sister, 12-year-old Alice (Paula Sheppard, Liquid Sky), who's been moody and difficult since her parents divorced. Their mother, Catherine (Linda Miller, An Unmarried Woman), reeling from the death of her youngest child, refuses to believe Alice was responsible.
Catherine and her ex-husband have to try and prove that their daughter is not a killer—and find the person responsible before they become the next victims...
