Londres, début du XIème siècle. Le jeune Rob Cole découvre à la disparition de sa mère qu’il possède un don particulier lui permettant de ressentir par le toucher l’imminence de la mort. Seul et sans ressource, c’est auprès d’un barbier ambulant qu’il découvre l’art de guérir. Se jurant de devenir médecin et de vaincre la mort elle-même, il décide de se rendre en Perse afin d’étudier auprès du « prince des savants », Avicenne. Face aux invasions barbares, aux guerres de religion, et aux épidémies dévastatrices, parviendra-t-il à accomplir son destin ?
