Plot – Jenny Hayden is a widow without children. One night, a weird stray of light coming from the living room wakes her up. What happens is extraordinary and scary at the same time: in few minutes, the body of a baby turns into a child, then into a teenager and into a man, who looks identical to her dead husband. Even if the stranger isn’t able to speak properly, he begs the woman to immediately drive him to Arizona. It is a long journey, but “they” wait for him there and if he doesn’t arrive in 3 days, he will die.
All actors – Jeff Bridges, Karen Allen, Charles Martin Smith, Richard Jaeckel, Robert Phalen, Tony Edwards, John Walter Davis, Ted White, Dirk Blocker, M.C. Gainey, Sean Stanek, George 'Buck' Flower
