Suddenly, a family physician can heal any illness with a simple touch
After a dozen years of practicing medicine as a family physician, Dr.
Alan Bulmer discovers one day that he can cure any illness with the mere
touch of his hand. At first his scientific nature refuses to accept what
is happening to him, but there is no rational explanation to be found.
So Alan gives himself over to this mysterious power, reveling in the
ability to cure the incurable, to give hope to the hopeless - for one
hour each day.
Although he tries to hide his power, word inevitably leaks out, and soon
Alan's life begins to unravel. His marriage and his practice crumble.
Only rich, beautiful, enigmatic Sylvia Nash stands by him. And standing
with her is Ba, her Vietnamese gardener, who once witnessed a power such
as Dr. Bulmer's in his homeland, where it is called Dat-tay-vao. And the
Dat-tay-vao always comes with a price.
Help arrives from an unexpected quarter - Senator James McCready offers
the use of his family's medical foundation to investigate Alan's
supposed power. If it truly exists, he will back Alan with the full
weight of the Foundation's international reputation. Feeling that he has
reached bottom and that things can only get better, Alan accepts
McCready's offer. But he has only begun to pay.
