In the murky depths of New Orleans, a brutal murder shatters the peace: a woman's incinerated corpse discovered in a seedy apartment. Unbeknownst to the killer, every chilling detail of his crime was witnessed by Olivia Bechet, a beautiful stranger with a unique and terrifying gift, from her isolated bayou cottage. Weeks later, Olivia's sleep is tormented by another violent vision, compelling her to believe a serial killer stalks the city. She turns to the authorities, but cynical detective Rick Bentz dismisses her claims until a second body surfaces, gruesomely mirroring Olivia's premonitions. As fear grips New Orleans, Olivia finds herself drawn to Bentz despite his skepticism, even as her dreams escalate to show a future murder. This time, the vision is horrifyingly personal: she recognizes not only the victim but also the killer, both dangerously close to her world.
