Scott Ingram is a tormented young man: at random and unpredictable times, he is able to read others' thoughts, sense their pain, and see their memories. Discarded in shame by his own family, he lives a lonely existence of fear and anxiety. Scott discovers that there are others like him when he becomes aware of Sarah Bollinger, a beautiful clairvoyant who can teach him how to master his power. He has a chance to belong again, but first he must go to her. Douglass Stevens earns his living by creating death, but wishes to leave his secret life behind so that he may return to his family. Before he can retire, he must kill a man whom he considers to be a brother. Doug's assignment will make him cross paths with Ingram--and there can be no loose ends. But how do you kill a man who can see you coming? Both men desire lives of harmony and peace. Their only obstacle is each other.
