When Jimmy Bratcher heard that his grandfather, an abusive WWII veteran, had died, he felt relieved. But that was before he received his inheritance, an 80-year-old curse his grandfather brought home from the war. A curse that takes negative emotions and turns them into reality. After he causes the death of his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in a dream, he gets a late night call from a sheriff's deputy investigating the actual deaths a hundred miles away. Soon he finds himself trapped in a battle for his soul as the cursed "wheel of misfortune" attempts to turn him into a cold blooded killer. Pursued by a demented deputy and a gang of sadistic bikers, Jimmy must try to find someone who can break the curse before it's too late.
