action
Allison Dubois has three children and the wife of engineer Joe. After originally wanting to be a lawyer, she now works in prosecutor Manuel Devalos' office, helping him solve cases with the help of her gift.
The gift consists in their uncanny ability to make contact with the hereafter . When touching personal objects, looking at pictures of people or while sleeping, the dead give her partially fragmentary pictorial clues; she also often dreams of crimes which have not yet happened and which she should prevent. The visions are mostly ambiguous or so incomplete that they are initially misinterpreted, which undermines Allison's credibility and leads to problems with her superior, prosecutor Devalos, police detective Lee Scanlon and, in later episodes of the series, with Cynthia Keener her family are the only ones who know of her gift. It also happens that she can see events going on in the mind of those who meet her, which is sometimes uncomfortable for her family or those around her.
Solving a violent crime is usually the focus of every episode; In addition, it is about the family situation of the Dubois'. So play z. For example, Joe and Allison's married life, financial problems and the upbringing of their daughters, and problems in and out of school due to their gift play an important role. Because in the course of the series it turns out that they have inherited their paranormal abilities, so it happens that in the more recent episodes some cases are partially solved with the help of the dreams of the older daughters Ariel and Bridgette.
