Now he, or a copycat, is again bloodily reducing the population - as if the Rust Belt didn't have enough problems. The principles here are sheriff Axel Palmer (Kerr Smith), his wife Sarah (horror honey Jaime King) and the mine owner's son Tom Hanniger (Jensen Ackles), who was Sarah's beau back in the previously awful day.
