In this supernatural political thriller, a hypnotic faith healer Wolfe (Robert Powell in the title role), saves the life of the son of a wealthy government senator (David Hemmings) being groomed for power before both the senator and his wife (Carmen Duncan) fall prey to the enigmatic Harlequin's spellbinding powers of manipulation. A modern-day reworking of the story of 'Mad Monk' Grigori Rasputin, the faith healer and mystic who held a darkly charismatic influence over the Russian Tsar. (Umbrella Entertainment)
