Plot
Seventeen years after slaughtering all but one member of a family, "The Sandman" (Michael Harris) is pending execution. Before his execution the jailers allow a minister (Michael D. Roberts) to visit him. The minister is a voodoo priest and an ally of the prisoner, which the jailers did not realize. A hex is placed onto The Sandman, so that when his execution is over, his soul can travel to a new body made of sand, but all his blood relatives would need to die. The Sandman then plots to kill a young man named Griffin (Jay Underwood), who is his biological little brother, and additionally, a survivor of the abuse of their birth father. Griffin survived the attempted slaughter, but his adoptive parents did not. The Sandman is then reborn, upon execution, to have a chance to try once again.
