Spoilers ahead
Whitney O’Shay, Kathleen Bailey, is a clairvoyant who has always been wary of the pull her gifts exert. When Agnes Goldberg and Felix Goldberg, Judy Tatum and Rob Zapple respectively, nudge her toward embracing her abilities, she reluctantly agrees to join a high-stakes investigation. The target is a gothic Victorian home in Solano County, California, long rumored to be haunted by the spirit of Avery Lauter — a legendary illusionist, a man whispered about as a warlock, and a suspect in a string of grim killings. The team expands to include Ginger Kowowski, Linnea Quigley, a video technician who keeps the footage rolling, and a trio of wary operatives: Levi Jackson, Clyde Talley II, Tony Vincente, James W. Quinn, and a skeptical observer who questions every supernatural claim.
