Synopsis

After a 7-year-old girl kills her family, Clay goes on a rampage. Psychologist-ghostbreaker Del Colter confronts him, but he slashes the man and flees on a stolen motorcycle. Clay then suffers a dream of his worst nightmare: crippled, he crawls home to his brutal coal-mining family. He kills his two brothers and almost kills his mother. In real time, the Challengers pursue Clay, dumping him in water when Kenn hits a hydrant. A broken neon sign zaps him cold and he coughs up a dragonfly-like soul taker. Clay was infected as it quit the girl-murderer. Del notes it is his soul and carries it off.
