About The Show
Jennifer Love Hewitt returns to series television in a riveting look at the link
between the living and the dead, between life and death. Inspired by the cases
of famed psychic James Van Praagh, it focuses on a young newlywed endowed with
the unique ability to communicate with spirits, who has spent her entire life
coping with this extraordinary gift, but who also yearns to lead an ordinary
life--if only the dead would stop talking. And what they are saying leads her to
some unusual psychic investigations.
