A supposed miracle-worker is creating havoc in New York City's slums. Drug dealers are getting cleaned up; prostitutes are leaving the streets; people are claiming miracles and healings. Is he for real or is he a fraud? When Jake Moore sees a photograph of the man in the LA Times, he recognizes the street preacher as someone from his hometown in Texas, a shy kid no one paid attention to. The wild contradiction of a young person so quiet as to be unnoticeable being portrayed years later as a miracle worker turning America's largest city on its ear mystifies Jake. When a publisher learns of Jake's connection with the elusive miracle worker, he offers him a lucrative fee to write an exclusive story. Jake jumps at the chance to solve the enigma, and inadvertently enters into a series of extraordinary and terrifying events that bring Holy Joe Smith to a life-or-death confrontation, and make Jake the target of thugs bent on reclaiming their turf.
