Plot

In the small town of Rincon, Puerto Rico, an American doctor tends to the young Dámaso Funes' broken leg and charred hands, believing that the scars across his body indicate an intense history of abuse. However, the Doctor soon discovers that he has stumbled upon a scientific miracle: a boy who cannot feel pain; a boy who can hold a burning ember in the palm of his hand without flinching and who can play with scorpions like toddlers toss around toys. Unfortunately, rather than rendering Dámaso superhuman, his condition leaves him vulnerable to exploitation. The Doctor sees great opportunity and befriends the young patient in an attempt to use him as material for a revolutionary case study. But when Dámaso’s own family abuses the boy’s abnormality to turn a buck, the Doctor’s personal agenda must give way to moral responsibility. The young boy's skin may heal but his inner scars are everlasting.
