Set in 1989, this $30 million TV miniseries centers largely on a devil character named "Linoge" (Colm Feore) who is looking for a small child to succeed him.

In order to lure the town into giving him the child, Linoge inflicts his wrath, creating a catastrophic blizzard, bringing destruction to its waterfront and killing off some of its citizens.
