Plot Summary

Johnny Smith has been leading an idyllic small-town life; as a science teacher he takes great pleasure in showing his young students the wonders of the natural world. He is also newly-engaged to loving fiancée Sarah, a fellow teacher he's known since childhood, and is a good son to his widowed mother, who lives nearby. His nearly-perfect life is interrupted by a near-fatal car crash that leaves him in a deep coma. Six years later he finally regains consciousness and discovers that life as he knew it has completely changed: His mother has passed away and Sarah has married someone else. As for Johnny, he discovers he now possesses amazing psychic powers that allow him to see into the lives of anyone he touches. As he attempts to reacquaint himself with life and the people he used to know, he also begins to come to terms with his new abilities, which might turn out to be a blessing and a curse. Helping him make a fresh start are his physical trainer Bruce, who becomes a close friend; his mother's priest Gene Purdy, who sets up a trust fund for him--but might not be looking out for his best interests; and Sarah, who must find a way to make Johnny part of her life again without risking her relationship with her husband and son.

Trivia The cane that Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) used throughout the series is the same one used by Stu Redman in The Stand (1994) and Andre Linoge in Storm of the Century (1999), just with a different head. All three stories were adapted from Stephen King novels. See more »
Goofs Johnny's hairstyle changes back and forth several times during the episodes "Wheel of Fortune" and "What It Seems" because of reshoots that were done a year after the initial filming. See more »
