Tory Bodeen (Claire Forlani) possesses a powerful psychic ability that allows her to glimpse visions of past and future events. As a young girl growing up in South Carolina, her life was shattered when her childhood best friend, Hope, was brutally murdered, a crime that remained unsolved for decades.

After years of living away, Tory returns to her hometown to face her traumatic past and establish an antique shop. Upon her return, she reconnects with Cade Lavelle (Oliver Hudson), Hope's older brother, and a romantic connection forms between them. However, as Tory's psychic visions intensify, revealing vivid details of the night Hope died, she realizes the killer is still lurking in town—and is now targeting Tory to keep the past buried.
