After a mugging in Manhattan leaves him with a broken arm and fractured skull, insurance investigator Jeff Resnick reluctantly agrees to recover at the home of his estranged half brother, Richard. At first, Jeff believes his graphic nightmares of murder are just the working of his traumatized mind. But when a local banker is found dead, Jeff believes the attack has left him with a sixth sense - an ability to see murder before it happens.
Piecing together clues he saw in his dream, Jeff attempts to solve the crime. His brother Richard is skeptical, but unsettling developments begin to forge a tentative bond. Soon, things that couldn't be explained by premonition come to light, and Jeff finds himself probing into dangerous secrets that touch his own traumatic past in wintry Buffalo - where a killer is ready to darken Jeff's vision permanently.
