To Edinburgh surgeon Alistair Kingsley, medicine is a science. So, when a dishevelled Indian mystic identifies him as the messiah of his ancient Hindu sect, and claims to have endowed him with the healing touch, Kingsley dismisses him as a harmless crank. When evidence suggests mysterious "cures" among patients he has merely examined, Kingsley retalliates with cold, hard reason; until an incurable illness strikes the person dearest to him, and his logical world starts to unravel.
