  • Since factory laborer Wilson's death in an accident, their three sons depend on their mother, Annabelle 'Annie', the small-town's 'medium'. One of her regular clients is Valerie, the regularly beaten wife of loner farmer Donnie Barksdale, who even terrorizes small boys. When Jesscia King, society fiancé of popular gentleman school principal Wayne Collins, goes missing, Annie's premonitions still put the disbelieving sheriff Pearl Johnson on the trail which leads to dragging the corpse from Donnie's pond. Annie warns the prosecutor David Duncan that he's wrongly accused, but the jury convicts him. Later, dark secrets come to light, putting Annie and others in danger.

  • In the bayous near Savannah lives Annie, a widow with three young sons and a gift: she's clairvoyant, supporting her family by reading cards. Not long after she's menaced by Donnie Barksdale, the abusive husband of a client, the sultry daughter of a prominent citizen (and fiancée of the school principal) goes missing. Annie leads the police to the woman's watery grave, Donnie's pond. At the trial and after, Annie must sort through an attack on her credibility and her gift, knowledge of the dead woman's affairs, her own attraction to the principal, and a separate crisis brought on by the mental illness of one of her neighbors. The visions won't quit either: what if Donnie is innocent?
