Housewife and mother Allison DuBois uses her psychic visions about dead people and the violence surrounding them to work as a part-time consultant with the local district attorney's office. Her husband, Joe, a science engineer, goes from being a skeptic to a bemused believer as Allison's gifts help solve crimes across the country.

Allison must decide if she should violate the contract she signed at her new job; Ariel realizes that the medication she is taking may stop her from being able to save a life.

When Allison suddenly goes into a coma, her spirit ends up in the body of a middle-aged man (Jeffrey Tambor) who insists on living with Joe and the children.

Allison starts having dreams about a young woman (Rumer Willis) who was once a kidnap victim rescued by Cynthia Keener (Anjelica Huston).

Allison dreams about a quirky bank teller with a psychic ability; Joe's new job puts a strain on the family.
