A disgraced televangelist, Reverend Josiah Barker, discovers a cursed glove that belonged to a medieval torturer. The glove gives him the power to heal people by touch — but every “miracle” comes with a price. The healing energy isn’t divine; it’s stolen life force. Each time Barker cures someone’s illness or injury, the glove transfers that person’s affliction to someone else nearby, often with fatal results. Desperate to rebuild his ministry and believing he’s been chosen by God, Barker ignores the mounting body count and rationalizes the deaths as “God’s will.”
Micki and Ryan track the glove to Barker’s revival after a series of mysterious deaths follow his services. They try to convince Barker the glove is evil, but his faith in his own righteousness makes him refuse to stop. Jack eventually confronts Barker during a televised healing, forcing him to see that he’s become the very thing he preached against. In the climax, Barker tries to heal a dying child, but the glove redirects the illness to Micki. To save her, Jack destroys the glove, ending Barker’s power and exposing him as a fraud.
