When the Bishop family’s third daughter Clara Bishop falls ill with a mysterious disease, even Eldon Mercer and Mason Krell are powerless. Only the legendary “Ordinary Man” in Herbwell Village can save her. But Damon Carter, once scorned for his origins and abandoned by Clara, refuses to treat her. He later clears his name with unmatched medical skill, takes revenge, and turns away when Clara begs for reunion, choosing to heal the world instead.
