Mild-mannered Clyde Bruckman, insurance salesman, has a gift: he can foresee the deaths of others. Unable to affect the outcome, he hides his ability until he stumbles across the latest in a string of murders that has drawn Mulder and Scully into the hunt for a serial killer who targets fortune tellers. Bruckman is unable to identify the killer, but tells Mulder and Scully where to find the bodies of two more victims. Scully thinks Bruckman may be the killer, but Mulder thinks he's found a real psychic to analyze. The real killer, however, now targets Bruckman, Mulder and Scully, forcing them to hole up in a hotel while more gruesomely mutilated corpses pile up. Bruckman foresees not only his own death, but Mulder`s murder at the hands of a homicidal maniac. It`s up to Scully to see if her partner`s fate can be changed...
