When John McKirrop, a down-and-out tramp, takes shelter in a deserted graveyard one night, he witnesses the disinterment of the body of a young boy. Yet no one takes much notice of his stories. After all, who would believe the ramblings of a homeless drunk?Father Ryan Lafferty, the local parish priest, is trying to help the boy's distrught father find his son's body. Alarmed by implications of black magic, he becomes even more inquisitive when McKirrop dies under suspicious circumstances.At the same time, a young female doctor, Sarah Lasseter, begins to query procedures at the Trauma Unit where she treated both the missing boy and McKirrop. The unit is famous for its pioneering research in brain damage and its state-of-the-art technology. So why are the head consultants behaving strangely?
