NONE
The film plays in the present and is about Frankie Paige, a young girl, who suddenly gets "stigmata". That means she gets the same wounds that jesus got when he died. Andrew Kiernan, a scientist and priest at the same time, is very interested in this phenomen. The situation becomes critical when Andrew finds out that Frankie is about to die. Andrew has to do something because he's in love with Frankie and he's the only person who can save her life.

Own Opinion
I like the film, because of the idea. I also like the music. The movie is very exciting. I was very impressed by the actors. They played their role very realistic. I can recommend it to all of you because the film leaves a great impression to me. I've never heard about this film since 5-6 days. After finding and watching it in my room I was very suprised. This is a pretty good movie and I would give the film 9 out of 10 points.
