A police officer refuses a bribe — and a glowing mark appears on his chest. It won’t wash off, won’t fade, and keeps getting brighter.

His partner calls him a fool and suggests staging a fake bribe to “fix” the situation. They attempt to recreate the exchange — but the glow doesn’t disappear.

Even a visit to a priest doesn’t help. The light turns out to be neither a curse nor a blessing, but the consequence of a choice..
