Synopsis

Marina Marks has been on the grift since she was a child, forced into the psychic business by a junkie mother who was always willing to use her solemn dark-haired daughter to peddle an extra buck. As an adult, Marina has earned a handsome living preying on the dreams and fears of her clients. Her gift is the ability to gain their trust and subtly raise her fees as they become more attached to her readings.

But when Marina moves her "intuitive counseling" business out of muggy, cloying Florida to the milder environs of southern California, a former client resurfaces in an eerie way. Soon Marina makes a startling discovery: she has the actual ability to see the future. After predicting a murder exactly as it happens, she becomes the sole suspect. Now she's desperate to clear her name—and to discover the meaning behind her visions.
