Summary
Karen and Simon Barrett make the painful decision to take their 3-year-old daughter Sherry, victim of a hit-and-run driver, off life support, but when they do, she spontaneously begins breathing on her own. Henry Denton, the driver who struck Sherry,… is haunted by the accident and attempts to take his own life, only to be saved by an unexplained force. Sherry's nurse discovers that the little girl has the power to heal, and when word of her gift leaks, the sick begin lining up to be saved, and a mysterious stranger sets his sights on vanquishing the believers - and the Barretts. Some strong language and descriptions of violence. 2006.
