In the summer of 1859, a widowed physician reluctantly agrees to take a recently freed slave and her mysterious Caucasian daughter on a five-day journey through the bloody West to find a distant town's Faith Healer. The woman believes her daughter is possessed. The doctor believes she simply carries The Sickness. Either way the fact remains that every living thing the girl touches mysteriously dies.

🔍 Search on JustWatch →Hard, smart thriller without decoration. The director wields pauses and information like weapons. The viewer is not allowed to relax.
Several script turns genuinely surprise, and that's worth something. The final act rushes slightly, but the overall level is high. A film worth discussing afterward.
Works for smart genre film fans. Expecting an action thriller — not this.
