Quick Synopsis
Cris Johnson is a magician performing in a Las Vegas showroom who has the unusual ability to see a few minutes into the future. To avoid the attention of the government and medical researchers who studied him as a child, he lives under a false identity in Vegas, doing small magic acts and relying on minor gambling wins for income. When a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris tracks Cris down and persuades him to use his unique power to help prevent the disaster.
Detailed Synopsis of Next
Las Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which torments him: he can see a few minutes into the future. Sick of the examinations he underwent as a child and the interest of the government and medical establishment in his power, he lies low under an assumed name in Vegas, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling "winnings." But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm.
