Local residents find a corpse on a Florida beach, and FBI investigators soon arrest a businessman, who claims that he is innocent. Seven years later, the case goes to trial, and the businessman's defense attorney asks psychic, Sharon Johns, to take the witness stand, hoping that her visions will clear his client's name.
Et kneblet og lemlæstet lig skyller op på en strand i Florida. FBI tilkaldes for at hjælpe med at opklare sagen, og familievennen Peter Johnstone bliver den hovedmistænkte. Men uden beviser forbliver sagen uopklaret i syv år.
Da sagen tages op igen, håber Johnstones forsvarsteam, at den clairvoyante Sharon Johns vil kunne rense Johnstones navn.
