***SPOILERS*** With no hope of surviving death, from a combination kidney/liver malfunction, 22 year old Miles Creighton, Michael Beck, was put on ice-Cryonically-on orders of his mother Marion, Beatrice Straight, until an organ or organs from an organ donor would become available for him so he can be thawed out and operated on. That's if when thawed he's still alive. All this becomes moot when an electrical short happens at the Cryonical Storage Center where Miles has spent the last ten years of his life in suspended animation that in fact, after a few days in the fresh air & sunshine, brought the stiff back to life.
Overjoyed at first to get her son Miles back his mom soon has seconds thoughts if thawing him out was the right thing to do. It takes a while but after killing the family dog Hep, who sensed that he was evil, and his late father's good friend and vice president of Miles, who's now put in charge, brokerage firm Clarence Beeson, Dick O'Neill, by first firing him and then, when he came back begging for his job back, inducing Clarence to suffer a fatal heart-attack. Miles also goes a step farther in his sexual attraction towards his kid sister Stacey, Jill Schoelen, whom he tries to seduce by trying to first get her drunk and then popping her! The guy turned out to be a both lowlife and sadistic swine who couldn't care less whom her hurt even his family members!
***SPOILERS*** It's family friend Reverend Penny, Paul Sorvino, who soon realizes what a fiend Miles is in that his unfeeling and psychopathic actions proves to him that the man lacks a soul. And when he confronts Miles about it Miles, by getting Penny's jacket stuck in his car door, tries to kill him by dragging him on the highway to his death! Rev. Penny who survived all that soon lets Mrs. Creighton, while semi-conscious in his hospital bed, know what a rotten and soul-less person her "beloved" son Miles really is. And what's more he's only her son in body but not in spirit or soul which really counts. The film tells us that the body that dies at death is separate from the soul that survives it which explains Miles Dr. Jeackel & Mr.Hide personality. He was a good boy before he died but turned into a monster when he came back to life in lacking a soul explains the actions he did since his resurrection, by thawing out, from the dead. It's now up to his mom to put her son Miles back on ice permanently before he does any more damage! but the problem is that Miles, in enjoying the criminal life that he's now leading, is not going to go that easily.
