Michael Vaughn (Rich Sommer) is a failing psychic who travels the country selling his book and performing group readings. His life takes a dark turn when he is kidnapped by Nathan (Clifton Collins Jr.), a remorseful murderer who believes Michael has supernaturally intuited the truth about a high-profile cold case Nathan committed years ago. Rather than fearing for his life, Michael sees the situation as his big break; he attempts to manipulate Nathan into "confessing" through a nationally televised séance to propel himself to superstar status.

The film has been noted for its "smartly constructed" script and "persuasive" performances, particularly from Sommer and Collins Jr..
