As a loner by circumstance and choice, Toby begins using his gift to assist law enforcement in solving crimes by reading the thoughts of victims and criminals. The series was created by Michael Amo and stars Craig Olejnik in the lead role. It explores themes of isolation, responsibility, and the impact of extraordinary abilities on ordinary life.
