 This
is a train for a holiday destination that Julia Wainwright and her young
daughter Samantha meet a man who told them to be named Marcus Disgrazia.
Doctor by profession, he seems to pay close attention to ghost stories
and to the misadventures that his traveling companions knew in the
Ballymoor haunted house where they live from now on. He says to them
that he knows Micah
DeAngelis, the son-in-law
of Abigail Beckwithe, who haunts Ballymoor.
When
little Samantha suddenly falls seriously ill and nearly dies from a
mysterious syndrome, Marcus intervenes to save her. His practice of
alternative medicine leaves Mason Capwell doubtful. But his success in
saving the life of his daughter allows Marcus to gain his trust.
The
veil is lifted on the mysterious Marcus Disgrazia, when his face appears
on a painting of the Beckwithe family, that the painter Suzanne Collier
is in charge of restoring. It thus appears that behind the pseudonym of
Marcus hides in fact Dr. Micah DeAngelis himself. Pulled in a cemetery
following a letter, Suzanne is attacked and falls off a cliff.
Hospitalized, she recognizes Micah at his bedside in the person of
Marcus, and has just enough time to write his name with her blood before
sinking into a deep coma. All suspicions then turn on Micah, who is
accused of having tried to lay into Suzanne's life. While Micah
disappears, it is Julia's turn to be infected with Samantha's disease
and to find herself also in a coma. Micah is called for help by Mason
and manages to heal Julia.
When
it is discovered that Abigail Beckwithe is still alive and at the origin
of the attacks on Suzanne and Julia, Micah is completely cleared. He
makes it up with his daughter, Aurora, and decides to settle with her in
Santa Barbara. He then worries about her relationship with the young
Sawyer Walker, suspected of the murder of Frank Goodman. When Aurora
leaves the city to follow Sawyer, now a fugitive, Micah forms an
alliance with Jodie, Sawyer's mother, to find their children. These
times spent together give rise to an attraction between the two parents,
especially since Jodie is undergoing separation from her husband, Reese.
But it is without taking into account Italian Countess Carla Rinaldi, come
to join Micah in Santa Barbara and who, jealous of Jodie, tries by all means to
drive them away from each other.
At
the end of 1992, Micah discovers the arrival in town of his son
Giovanni... on a hospital table. Indeed he practices a surgical
operation on him without having acknowledged him. At first shocked, he
is happy to find his son. However, he becomes disillusioned when he
learns that this latter is going to become a priest, a vocation that he does not
stand.
Jodie
seeming decided to go back with her husband in the last episode of the
show, it is alone that we
definitively leave Micah, however with the happiness of having finally
retied with his beloved children.
