Secret Service agent Michael Roberts is assigned the job of locating the suspect. The only lead comes from a six-year-old girl and her mother. Abbey Porter, according to her mother, Susan, can read people's auras. The girl purportedly saw the terrorist in a crowd a few days earlier and felt his hate for the president. Roberts refuses to believe the pair. He's grounded in Secret Service realism, not some hocus-pocus new-age belief. But a display of Abbey's abilities causes him to question his doubts about her. After the CIA confirms Abbey's information, and as the clock ticks down to the president's arrival, Roberts must decide—focus on Abbey's abilities or follow established protocol.
