Bobbi Wheeler is a psychologist who uses her abilities to help her patients deal with depression and grief. This ability to know her patients' history and inner thoughts through a simple "touch" is the reason behind her successful therapy sessions with her clients. She does not always think of this as a gift however as she sometimes sees death and is helpless to do anything about it. At these times she usually finds going to the ocean helps her to come to terms with the turmoil she feels inside.
During one of these trips to the ocean she meets Lance Wolfe, a nonbeliever in psychics and a widower who blames himself for the car accident that caused the death of his wife. His guilt hinders him from loving another woman again, though Bobbi finds herself falling in love with him. Her feelings for a man unable to love again is only part of he worries as, on one of her trips to the ocean, she is accidentally touched by a man who murders couples, which Bobbi dreams about as it happens.
Somehow, Bobbi and the murderer, are psychically connected. When she involves the police in her visions of his carnage, he only has one thing on his mind - killing her. Just when she thinks she knows who he is, she discovers she is dead wrong!
