Synopsis

A priest stripped of his memory. A miracle marked on his flesh.

Father Xavier Farrell was a rising star until a devastating accident left him broken and alone. Waking with no memory of his vows or his God, he becomes "Buddy"-a gentle drifter with the Stigmata bleeding from his hands and a terrifying gift for healing.

While the Church launches a relentless manhunt, Buddy's journey leads him to the quiet coast of Rhode Island. There, he discovers a life that feels impossibly familiar, uncovering the man he was before the priesthood-and the people he left behind.

As his memory returns, Xavier is torn between his pledge to the Church and the profound peace he has found. To reconcile his fragmented soul, he must decide what God's plan truly is-and what it really means to be a channel of peace.
