Julia Ransom walks along San Francisco's Pier 39, finally feeling happy again after six months of grieving her murdered husband, renowned psychic August Ransom. A stranger approaches her with casual conversation, then violently attacks her and hurls her over the railing toward the bay. Special Agent Cheney Stone saves her from drowning and suspects her assault connects to August's unsolved murder. Meanwhile, Sheriff Dixon Noble travels from Maestro, Virginia to San Francisco after learning about Charlotte Pallack, a woman who looks exactly like his wife Christie, who disappeared three years ago. Noble's investigation intersects with Stone's case. Together with agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock, they dig into a dangerous world of psychics and frauds.
