Mulder and Scully attempt to protect a boy, whose death could trigger the coming of Armageddon, from a possibly demonic serial killer who targets people with stigmata.
Scully and Mulder investigate the murder of a popular evangelist who claimed, falsely as it turns out, to bear the wounds Christ bore from the cross - stigmata. Mulder is aware that there have been other similar murders but when they are called to a nearby school, they meet Kevin Kryder, a 12 year-old who seems to genuinely show the signs of stigmata. The boy's father is in prison for child abuse and Mulder is skeptical about it all. Scully however struggles with her own religious views and comes to believe that the boy may be genuine. She also comes to believe that she is there to protect him.—garykmcd
Over the course of three years, eleven would-be stigmatics, or people who claim to have harnessed the power of God, have been killed. Just as Mulder proves the most recent one was a fraud, he and Scully get a call about a boy who bleeds from his hands, and may be in danger.—EJS
