Mariah, having caught her husband with another woman, falls into depression, and their seven-year-old daughter Vera withdraws into herself and seeks comfort from a friend, who she may or may not have made up. Inexplicable things happen more and more often: Vera will quote a verse from the Gospel, although there is no Bible in the house, or she will mention an old episode from her mother's life, which she has never told anyone about. Rumors begin to circulate around the town and beyond about a girl who sees God in a woman's guise and heals the sick. A crowd of reporters, religious fanatics and those wishing to be healed gathers outside Mariah and Vera's house. The clergy show a persistent desire to understand the situation. What to believe in? Is Vera the messiah or just a little girl? Is Mariah a good mother trying to overcome difficulties, or a charlatan using her daughter to return attention to herself? As the custody battle for Vera unfolds, Mariah must learn that fortitude doesn't have to come from religion, but can be found within...
