    [synopsis] => Wesley Roberts was a happy family man with a loving wife and two wonderful children. But that was before a drunk driver killed his family and a slick lawyer robbed him of justice, leaving Wesley with grief, despair, and coals of smoldering anger.

	     As time passed, smoldering coals became burning flames of revenge. One evening, with nothing to live for and nothing to lose, Wesley caught the slick lawyer alone and strangled him to death with his bare hands.

	     On his way to strangle the drunk driver, Wesley stumbled over a blind man seated on a sidewalk in deep midnight shadows. Angry at being kicked, the blindman swung his empty wine bottle, whacking Wesley hard on his knee. It hurt. Already in a murderous mood, Wesley grabbed the man's head, touching the man's eyes, ready to gouge them out. From out of nowhere, a powerful force paralyzed Wesley. 

	     "You're burning me!" the man cried out.

	     As suddenly as the force had captured Wesley, it released him.

	     Gasping for breath, the blindman said, "I can see you."

	     Confused and afraid, Wesley ran away.

	     Soon excited by and accepting his wonderous gift, Wesley exchanged revenge for a fantastic reason to live. He began a secret mission to heal the needy, including the murdered lawyer's desirable wife. But soon his quiet plan exploded in the glare of media cameras and network news, forcing him to embrace a well-planned, public healing ministry. Accompanying his ministry were guilty thoughts of embracing the dead lawyer's wife.  

	     All the while, Police Detective Cosgrove was convinced that Wesley was a murderer but couldn't prove it. It gnawed and gnawed at him. And though Wesley had become a much-needed savior, Detective Cosgrove refused to surrender his certainty.
