| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Nomads |
|---|
Lesley Ann Down plays a doctor in an L.A. emergency room. While on duty a deranged man is brought in. He is raving and thrashing and yelling in French. Unfortunately no one understands French and so they can't figure out what happened to him. The doctor tries to calm and restrain him, and is successful for a moment. Then he thrashes about, gouges her on the neck, collapses, and dies. Upon his death, the doctor starts seeing things. She ultimately realizes that she is seeing the French man's life. He was an anthropologist who recently returned to L.A. after being on a trip. Some vandals began to stalk him and he started to track them down. The doctor sees this all in visions and tries to figure out what ultimately happened to the anthropologist, plus try to protect the man's wife in case the bad guys are still out there.
