The episode begins with Johnny having a vision of a young girl walking into a church and being given a pamphlet by a member of the congregation. When the girl leaves, Johnny sees a man lurking in the shadows, watching her.
Meanwhile, Walt, Johnny's friend and sheriff, is investigating a string of burglaries in town. The only thing that seems to be missing from each of the crime scenes is a religious artifact, leading Walt to suspect that the burglaries are connected to the same religious sect that Johnny saw in his vision.
When Johnny tries to visit the church to learn more about the sect, he is stopped by the congregation's leader, a man named Father Conroy. Father Conroy is suspicious of Johnny's motives and warns him not to interfere with their beliefs.
Undeterred, Johnny uses his psychic abilities to learn more about the sect and its members.
