Declan's mentor, Rudy, becomes Declan's next miracle mystery, when the old anthropologist begins having bizarre visions, including tacky alien spaceships, circus clowns and even the Big Bad Wolf. Declan brings Rudy to see Peggy, who thinks these visions are the result of stress, but when she has him undergo a physical check-up, a brain tumor is discovered. The tumor is pressing on the part of the brain that houses memories, thus triggering these strange visions -- memories from Rudy's childhood. But one of the memories is of a young girl -- the childhood sweetheart Rudy let go. With Declan's help, Rudy is able to make contact with the woman, who just recently divorced... right about the same time Rudy started having these visions.
Declan Dunn has a fascination with mystical phenomena that began when he was buried under an avalanche and given up for dead. After he miraculously survived, he committed his life to investigating miracles and the absolute proof of their existence. Now a professor of Anthropology at a leading Oregon university, Declan has the training, support staff and the opportunity to study the uncanny, inexplicable phenomena people call "miracles". With the help of Peggy, a skeptical psychiatrist, and Miranda, a research student, the three embark on a quest to explain what science cannot.
