The premise
Allison Dubois works in the District Attorney’s office using her natural intuition about people and her ability to communicate with the dead to help to solve crimes. Her dreams often give her clues to the whereabouts of missing people.
Horror Vault's take
Allison Dubois is no ordinary DA's office consultant — she hears the dead, and they have a lot to say. Balancing a demanding career, a grounded family life, and a gift she never asked for, Allison channels visions and nocturnal messages to help crack cases that conventional investigators can't close. The series blends procedural crime drama with genuine supernatural unease, keeping viewers guessing whether Allison's abilities are a blessing or a curse. Week after week, the line between the waking world and something far stranger grows harder to see.
