“An American Masterpiece!”

In a small Southern city, a young veteran named Hazel Motes (Brad Dourif) steps off a train with no money, no schooling, and a firm decision to become a preacher. He starts his own church, the Church of Truth Without Christ, which takes in Enoch Emory (Dan Shor), Sabbath Lily (Amy Wright), and the blind street preacher Asa Hawks (Harry Dean Stanton). John Huston keeps Haze on the sidewalk, fixed on one purpose.
