In Tennessee and Los Angeles, a fortune-teller and an evangelist, both claiming to bear the holy wounds of stigmata, are brutally murdered. Meanwhile, in a shanty town on the outskirts of Rome, a young gypsy girl emerges bearing the unmistakable wounds of stigmata. When the Vatican takes notice, two members of the esteemed Miracle Commission are dispatched to investigate this extraordinary phenomenon.

As news of the Vatican's investigation reaches the assassins' ears, they descend upon the gypsy encampment with ruthless intent. Alone and desperate for salvation, the girl makes her way to the hallowed grounds of the Vatican not knowing that her arrival will ignite a deadly race against time.
