J.J. Cooney (Emilio Estevez), a video game hot-shot, dares to take on a strange challenger, though it may cost him his life.

The Benediction:
A troubled priest (Lance Henriksen) seeks to find the faith he has lost on the road, but instead he finds someone (or something) in the desert is trying to drive him out of his mind.

Night of the Rat:
Claire (Veronica Cartwright) hears rats in the walls. Her husband (Richard Masur) believes he can take care of the problem with a few rat traps, but this problem is only going to get much bigger.
