Synopsis:

A poor man learns that obtaining wealth through evil means can command a terrible price in this made-for-TV horror story. Jeff Obold (Aiden Gillen) is a struggling auto mechanic whose personal life is a good bit more rewarding than his career; he has a lovely wife, Marla (Nina Siemaszko), and a seven-year-old daughter Casey (Skye McCole Bartusiak) whom he dotes on, even though he has a hard time providing for them. One day, while looking for parts for a vintage muscle car, Jeff makes the acquaintance of Bruno Rubin (F. Murray Abraham), a mysterious but charming stranger. Jeff and Bruno learn they share an interest in classic cars, and Bruno invites Jeff and Marla to visit him at his estate. The couple soon discovers that Bruno is very wealthy, and soon Bruno shares with Jeff the source of his wealth and power -- a strange demonic creature called a "darkling." The darkling can bestow untold material fortune on anyone willing to be its companion, but Jeff finds doing the darkling's wishes has a price when his association with the demon costs him his beloved Marla -- and Casey's life may be next. The Darkling was produced for the USA cable network.

When mechanic Jeff Obold meets the wealthy and mysterious Bruno Rubin, he is exposed for the first time to the finer things in life. But Jeff soon discovers the source of Rubin's power: a caged creature called a 'Darkling,' which possesses the power to create incredible wealth for the person who will pledge unending 'companionship.' Now, as Jeff sinks further and further into the blackness of a soul sold to the devil, he will discover there is a high price to pay for the fulfillment of his dreams. The cast of this USA Network Original Movie includes Oscar-winner F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus, Star Trek: Insurrection) and sultry Nina Siemaszko (Wild Orchid II: Two Shades of Blue).
