A blind woman with the psychometric ability to experience the last 18 seconds of a victim's life helps hunt a relentless serial killer.

Blind since childhood, Sherry Moore possesses a chilling psychometric gift: touching a deceased person's corpse allows her to experience the final eighteen seconds of their consciousness. When police uncover a string of cold-case homicides along the East Coast, law enforcement seeks Sherry's supernatural insight.

As Sherry relives the terrifying final moments of the victims, she uncovers the signature of an elusive serial killer who realizes Sherry is closing in on his identity.
