Lindsay Boxer gives birth to her daughter and expects to enjoy precious time at home. One week later, duty calls her back to the San Francisco Police Department. Two major cases demand her attention simultaneously. A star player from the San Francisco 49ers becomes the main suspect in a brutal killing. Meanwhile, an unusual English professor approaches Lindsay with claims about his nightmares. He insists his vivid dreams show real murders that haven't happened yet. Lindsay dismisses his story as fantasy until a shooting occurs that matches every detail the professor described. Now she must race against time to prevent more violence while investigating the football player's alleged crime. The pressure mounts as Lindsay tries to balance new motherhood with police work. She faces the challenge of solving cases that could define her career. But even these high stakes pale when Lindsay confronts the threat of losing what matters most to her.
