In a city plagued by lies, deceit, and corruption, even miracles are not what they seem.
Boston, 1968. On a cold winter morning, Detective Jody Brae drives by an old monastery and sees a crowd out front. A holy apparition has appeared, the image of the Virgin Mary in the frost of the belfry window. He remembers something terrible that happened there in his youth, but he is more concerned with the present. PTSD from the Korean War is threatening his marriage, and something is wrong with his mentor, Captain Jackson.
After a young woman is found dead in a dumpster, the investigation leads Brae and his partner Harrigan to the monastery, but they are hampered by the mass hysteria. With a war in Vietnam and social unrest across American cities, people everywhere have found hope and solace in the miracle.
Soon the situation grows out of control, and the mayor is left with no other choice than to have the image cleared and everyone removed. Realizing there might be darker motives at work, Brae desperately races to stop the eviction, knowing it will shatter the faith of the thousands who have gathered. But how can he save the believers when his own world is crumbling around him?
