Plot Synopsis

In Northern California Buddy Hoyt lives a simple life in the garage apartment of his adoptive parents, Aunt Beth and Uncle Norman. He works thanklessly as a school janitor and is busy planning the next move for himself and his fiancee, Alice, when a fall from a roof lands him in a coma. He finally wakes up, and by the next day, he has miraculously recovered and is able to return home. His life soon changes in a way he can hardly believe when he discovers he has the ability to heal others just by touching them, although he must drain his own energy to revitalize theirs. Almost overnight, the humble janitor becomes the talk of the town, and he finally feels appreciated as more people come to him for help. However, Buddy's gift begins to take its toll, on both his health and his relationship with Alice, and he realizes that helping others can't mean overlooking his own well-being. With the life he has waited for now on the line, he must decide to what extent he is able to put others' futures ahead of his own.
