Mois�es has remained a recluse, refusing to even look at a patient, since the day the army took his wife away during the country's civil war. But when a mysterious plague begins to ravage the countryside around San Isidro, the local parish priest convinces Mois�es to take action. And when Mois�es examines his first patient, he discovers he has the miraculous power to heal this plague with the touch of his hand.
