Driven by the relentless impulse to grant intriguing wishes, an amoral killer suddenly finds himself trapped into playing guardian to a street child. Left without any conscience or desires of his own, Harry has been prowling the world in search of prayers only he can answer, prayers left impotent by the speaker's fear, whether whispered in church, or shouted out in public--prayers to save a life, or end it--prayers which Providence has given him the strength to grant, transforming him into a true-life genie, a purpose he has reveled in for years... But then he meets Janie, a child prostitute whose vengeful wish leads him to kill every man he could find who touched her. Far from being horrified, Janie calls him her "guardian angel," and begs him not to leave her. Although desperate to break her hold over him, Harry finds himself enslaved by the compulsion to indulge her. Worse, Janie's affection begins to draw him out of his dissociative state, as if his buried half cannot wait to reemerge and take advantage of her. Will Harry allow Janie to "heal" him, and thereby risk being destroyed by his resurrected conscience? Or will he kill her to save them both from the weakling he used to be?
