But on a day trip back into the city to sort out his affairs, Jack is hit by a truck in front of Galways Famine Memorial, left in a coma but mysteriously without a scratch on him. When he awakens weeks later, he finds Ireland in a frenzy over the so-called Miracle of Galway.

The Catholic Church isnt so sure, and Jack is commissioned to help find the children to verify the miracle or expose the stunt. But Jack isnt the only one looking for these children. A fraudulent order of nuns needs them to legitimatize its sanctity and becomes involved with a dangerous arsonist. Soon, the building in which the children are living burns down.
