What is Faith Healer about?
When the fantastic Frank Hardy promises miracle cures for the sick and suffering for one night only, this seemingly impossible feat becomes his goal. Whilst more showman than shaman, Frank finds the challenge irresistible as he uses his shapeshifting gifts and proclamations in the process, something that does not sit well with those closest to him.
