After four years behind vinyl, seven-year-old Jacob dies for forty-seven seconds and comes back with warm hands, and the dead beetle, the dead plant and the screaming boy down the hall all get better after he touches them.
A pediatric nurse finally gets to take home the boy who spent four years sealed in isolation, never seeing that every life his warm hands quietly save costs him a piece of his own.
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble meets The Green Mile.
Every miracle he gives away costs him something.
