In this TV adaptation of the Dean Koontz novel Billy Zane (DEMON KNIGHT, THE PHANTOM) portrays a newspaper reporter who lost his wife and five-year-old daughter in a plane crash a year before. When visiting their gravesite he's approached by a young black woman who knows his name. She says she has information about the plane crash, that it was intentional. About a minute after she tells him this she's pursued by these mysterious government agents. The reporter in Zane acts up and he starts doing his own investigating. He visits another family who lost relatives in that same plane crash and finds out they were recently visited by that mysterious woman-and that she showed them the truth about life after death. They seem creepily happy and want to share the news with him. But before they can the husband and wife kill themselves-and the house explodes. Zane narrowly escapes and eventually discovers a secret government organization that has been creating a new form of human, able to control things with their minds. And that mysterious woman was a scientist there, in charge of a very special girl, who has the power to heal. When she was on that same plane that Zane's wife and daughter were on, taking the girl to safety (the government wanted to kill her), the girl transported her and the woman inbetween dimensions so that they survived the crash. But right after she visited family's telling them that there's life after death, ANOTHER one of the kids, who is able to 'remote', basically takes over their bodies and makes them kill themselves because he hates the little girl. This four-hour movie was decent, reminding me a bit of FIRESTARTER with its kids and government experiments.
