Stigmata is a supernatural suspense story about good, evil, and faith.
Frankie Paige is a hair stylist in her mid-20s who has no strong religious convictions until odd things start happening to her after she's given a rosary by her mother.
She begins speaking with another person's voice; unknown and unseen forces start to attack her; and she develops stigmata, bleeding wounds that spontaneously appear on her wrists, feet, and side, as according to Christian beliefs Christ was wounded at Calvary.
Some people believe that a holy miracle has been visited on Frankie, though no one can say why.
A Cardinal from the Vatican sends a priest, Father Andrew Kiernan, to investigate Frankie and her condition.
After getting a first-hand look, Father Andrew finds himself less concerned with whether Frankie's wounds are a legitimate miracle and more concerned with saving her life.
Tagline: The messenger must be silenced.
