That session gives Tom far more than he bargained for. While "under," he sees brief flashes of brutal images beofre awakening in a cold sweat - never to be the same. His attempts to rid himself of the visions, including a second, even more disturbing, hypnotic session, only draw him further into a supernatural mystery.

Tom's hypnotic experiences spark a subconscious awareness he can't begin to understand: a strange ability to "hear" and "see" sensations from that supernatural, "other" world he won't even concede exists. In the days that follow, he finds himself haunted by more nightmares and disturbing images, makes a surprising discovery about his son, and inevitably comes face-to-face with what appears to be tormented, ghostly visitor.

As the visions continue, Tom's behavior grows frightening and erratic, and he begins to distance himself from everybody life. Instead, he immerses himself totally in solving the mystery that is beginning to envelop him.

Initially unable to understand wy the supernatural presence has singled him out, Tom eventually becomes convinced it is trying to tell him something. He doggedly pursues the meaning of the ghostly pleas formating him, and eventually makes a grisly discovery in his own home - a discovery that could destroy his marriage, his life and the entire Chicago neighborhood where he lives.

That discovery finally leads Tom to understand that some secrets refuse to stay hidden and buried. He therefore forges ahead with a clear conviction that he must act to right a cruel wrong at all costs. As the film races to a stirring and unforgettable conclusion, he struggles to answer a fraint, haunting cry for justice, one that appears to originate from beyond the grave.
