During a near-death drowning experience, seven-year-old Ophelia Carter meets an angel who bestows on her the power to heal people from their ills, diseases, and nightmares. Ophelia's parents immediately begin exploiting her gift by setting up a healing center, charging admission, and forcing their daughter to put her healing powers on full display. Ophelia enjoys healing people, but each healing takes a major physical and mental toll on her, and being in the limelight attracts unwanted attention. Ophelia begins to grow weary and to trust her parents less and less.

One day, a visitor named David shows up at the healing center and sweeps a now college-age Ophelia off her feet, in part by convincing her that her parents are exploiting her. But what Ophelia doesn't realize is that David suffers a psychosis that has put him in communication with an evil entity name Perkele. Using David to do his bidding, Perkele intends to cut Ophelia off from her parents and use her powers for evil instead of good. Will Ophelia realize her folly in time to prevent Perkele from doing irreversible harm to her and the entire world? Read and find out.
