A winter storm grounds flights in Syracuse, but it's not the only thing about to explode. When Sampson, a crowd-pleasing mind reader brushes the hand of Senator Alan Grant, the presidential front-runner, he's hit by a blinding vision: the senator's death. Minutes later, a bomb rocks the airport. With a wounded CIA agent, a hard-nosed local cop, and a killer still at large, Sampson is dragged into a conspiracy that climbs from a stolen utility truck to the highest offices in Washington. As the clock runs down, the one weapon that can keep Grant alive is the gift that's destroying Sampson-his ability to glimpse what comes next.
