Plot

A retired veteran of the 8 year Iran-Iraq war, paralyzed from injuries suffered in that conflict, struggles to bring peace to the world through a miracle after the attacks on the World Trade Center in September 2001. The ritual he performs depends on the help of his brother... a man who does not believe in miracles.
