PATRICIA ARQUETTE STARS IN CHILLING NEW SERIES INSPIRED BY A REAL STORY — In this haunting drama series from executive producer Glenn Gordon Caron (”Moonlighting”) inspired by real life research medium Allison DuBois, Patricia Arquette (”Stigmata,” “Flirting with Disaster”) stars as a strong-willed mother of three who has struggled since childhood to make sense of her visions of dead people. Hoping to prove to Allison that her dreams are stress induced, her scientist husband, Joe (Jake Weber, “U-571″), sends descriptions of Allison’s visions to a number of law enforcement agencies, expecting nothing to come of it. To his surprise, one of Allison’s dreams bears an eerie similarity to a Texas homicide case involving a 17-year-old murder suspect. The case pits Allison against Capt. Kenneth Push (guest star Arliss Howard), a cynical Texas Ranger who is suspicious of her psychic abilities. By the end of the investigation, Capt. Push has a new respect for Allison - and she makes a life-altering decision of her own. Miguel Sandoval stars as series regular D.A. Devalos. Sofia Vassilieva and Maria Lark also star as the DuBois children.
