Walter Travis (Jason Robards) has been in the business all his life, making money out of people's credulousness, using his daughter (Rosanna Arquette) as a medium to make people believe they get in contact with the other side. But he is in for a shock when his daughter's visions actually prove true, when she foresees deaths and catastrophes that must be termed unpredictable and which actually happen. A journalist (Tom Hulce) gets intrigued by the improbable coincidences of Rosanna's visions actually manifesting themselves in reality and tries to get in closer touch with both her and the father in order to denounce a racket, but instead he is faced by an unsolvable mystery for perpetual perplexity. All three leading characters. Rosanna Arquette, Jason Robards and Tom Hulce make amazing unforgettable performances, and whatever you may think about metaphysics on films this is actually intriguing and makes some sense.
