Tom Sisto is used to getting late night calls from his contacts at the Saratoga City Police Department. He has quietly put his undesired psychic abilities towards helping the city he grew up in. His liaisons don't like him much and the one detective that actually believes in his abilities has to fight to keep him on the books as a consultant. Detective Camille Caden, along with her not so accepting veteran partner, Detective Calvin Bell, come across a case that requires they bring Tom Sisto in the loop.

Expecting pushback from Bell with Caden to mediate, this case is different. Sisto isn't brought into the case because of his psychic abilities. He is brought in because the brutal murderer using the city as a killing ground has Tom Sisto in their crosshairs. From the first crime scene, Sisto recognizes the intensity and ferociousness that the kills hold. There is a deep seeded personal touch, yet he has no understanding how he is connected. In between the moonlighting as amateur detective, Sisto is still trying to get his life back together. He routinely visits his local support group center, trying to work on his own inner demons while proceeding head to head in a dangerous game that could cost him his life if he is not careful.


Sisto's visions come in the form similar to an old school projector, kicking on and presenting atrocities he never wished to view, let alone experience first-person while thrust into the memory of a victim or an offender. He playfully nicknamed these horrifying images The Reels. The first time he experienced them eight years prior, he noticed a flicker behind his eyelids, before being swept away into a chaotic jumble of sensory cross-wiring that he is still managing to work out in present day.

Carrying that burden takes a toll and over the years Sisto has developed a very dark humor about his observations. With the help of his colleagues, friends, and The Reels, Sisto uses all he has learned while working with the SCPD, along with his binge-watching of police procedurals to try and catch a killer. He has to stop playing detective and actually become one as one wrong move can put himself or the ones closest to him in harms way. There is no more room to hate or dismiss his gift. If Tom Sisto wants to get out of this situation alive, he must embrace The Reels and enhance his skillset, before the game of cat & mouse ends badly.
