Henry Poole is fatally ill, and moves into a new house to spend his remaining days there in solitude. His neighbor sees the vague face of Jesus in a water stain on his house's wall, however, and people start coming over to see it. Miracles happen to people who touch the face, but Henry refuses to believe in them. The central matter of the veracity of the miracles is presented bluntly, rendering the movie largely pointless. While acting and production values are fine, the dialogue is predictable, and it's hard to care about the characters.

Morgan plays Millie Stupek, daughter of Henry's beautiful neighbor Dawn. In the beginning of the movie Millie has been mute for a year, and doesn't speak very much later on either. She has the classic role of a sweet child in distress, and is a good fit for that. She's beautiful in a personal manner, and gives a slightly mystical impression with her big eyes and solemn silence.
