Plot

Paul becomes attracted to Raina Bauer, the sharp and beautiful daughter of a brilliant, workaholic scientist. He goes out on his first date in a very long time and struggles with his desire for something resembling a normal life. Raina asks Paul to help her father, who is researching the cure of a rare disease and is experiencing something paranormal with one of his patients. Her father is a man who believes only in the scientific and the "actual" and he can find no explanation for the fact that one of his most unresponsive patients suddenly begins communicating and giving him the exact scientific answers he has been seeking for the past two years. Paul and Keel determine that the patient has in fact been possessed by an evil entity and this mysterious entity somehow knows an awful lot about Paul and Keel. It manipulates the scientist and tries to get him to overdose the other patients, but Keel manages to banish the entity before anyone is killed. Just after Paul has said goodbye to Raina, who must return to her home in "California", he finds out that she has actually been dead for two years. She died of the very disease her father has been working so hard to cure. Although he has lost her, meeting Raina has helped Paul to see that there is more than just darkness on the other side.
