A 2000 horror/thriller film [[TheFilmOfTheBook adapted from the novel]] by Cathy Cash Spellman, directed by Creator/ChuckRussell and starring Creator/KimBasinger, about a mother and her adopted child -- who just happens to be the messiah.
Maggie O'Connor (Basinger) is a nurse who one night gets a brief visit from her drug-addicted sister Jenna (Creator/AngelaBettis), who drops off her newborn daughter Cody. Fast forward a number of years, and Cody (Creator/HollistonColeman) is in a Catholic school for disabled children. She is believed to have a form of autism, but it is indicated that she has started to develop supernatural powers - making plates levitate, and more importantly resurrecting a dead bird. Things are going well.
