But as his invention brings him accolades and personal satisfaction, his world is shattered: an assassins bullet meant for him kills his wife. And in the aftermath of her death, Carters invention reveals that his young daughter has inherited an incurable disease and has less than a year to live. Even the most advanced medical science cannot save her. Tom Carter, a man who has always placed his trust in medicine, needs a miracle.
