Rebecca, the daughter of missionary Lawrence Byrne, was declared a "miracle" after she
survived a plane crash in the Amazon forest as a child. Years later, she becomes a miracle healer, sustaining their mission thanks to her growing fame. But when illegal loggers invade the land belonging to the indigenous people they are evangelising, Rebecca’s father manoeuvres them into the epicentre of this escalating conflict.
