Janet Hawthorne is a doctoral microbiology student at Harvard University feverishly working to find the cure for breast cancer, a disease that has taken the life of every female in her family. She knows if she isn't successful, she will be the next victim. Then an Evangelist is scheduled to arrive at Madison Square Garden along with the Shroud of Turin. She knows if she could obtain a sampling from the precious garment's blood-stained cloth that she could clone Christ, and then the child would have the power to save her life. The results of her actions not only endangers her own life, but the child and those around her.
