them jobs by making little miracles.
A certain night she disappears mysteriously.

opportunity to obtain votes and media exposure, since
finding a saint would harness big voting interest.
That's why he chooses Jorge, Lucia and Qual to take care
of the case.

revealed as a story of love and desire between a "saint"
and a local drug dealer, named Gabrielzinho, who was called
to be cured after being wounded, maybe fatally.
