TV movies have been known to challenge some very controversial topics such as wife abuse, drug addictions, rape and child abuse. Never has TV tried to conquer the supernatural. In this one Ted Danson has a field day in a role of lifetime as a ordinary guy who can talk to the dead. Queen latifah is in fine firm as a aid to help his (Ted Danson's) business from going bankrupt. Mary Steinberg is superior as a detective out to solve a cold Case involving several boys that disappeared.

This movie grabs your attention and never let's it go. From the beginning to a mystery to the motive boldly going where no TV movie has gone before and goes there too notched. A tight script, a all-star cast and superior direction keeps this movie from becoming just another movie. I admit though that I'm not really a Ted Danson fan but his performance in this movie was his best. This movie also proves that curse word's, sex and endless explosions aren't needed to make a spectacular movie.

I recommend this movie with pride cause everytime I watch it I watch it through. The characters are interesting, the plot is fantastic and the chemistry between the entire cast is remarkable. A movie that delivers on all levels and somehow got lost in time.
