In September, 1957, in Detroit, a red 1958 Plymouth Fury is built and is the cause of two accidents, one of them fatal, still on the assembly line. Twenty-one years later, the bullied outcast Annabelle "Anna" Cunningham is getting a ride with her best and only friend Diane Guilder and she sees the wrecked car for sale in a garden. Anna immediately falls in love with the car. The car was given the name Christian by its first owner. She brings the car to a repair shop of the despicable Wilma Darnell and works hard to restore the classic car. While she works in the restoration, she changes her personality to a snobby teenager and she dates the most handsome guy in the high-school, Liam Cabot. Soon Anna becomes selfish and jealous of the supernatural Christian that kills everyone that is a threat to them.
