PlotThe story unfolds as a renowned mentalist, John Triton, confesses to a series of astonishing premonitions that have haunted him since a fateful night many years ago. Triton claims to possess the uncontrollable ability to see visions of catastrophic events before they occur. His life has become a struggle with these glimpses of the future that he cannot change. Battling the skepticism of those around him and the weight of his own conscience, Triton finds himself isolated, burdened by an unwanted power that drives him into despair.
Compelled by one particular vision that predicts the imminent death of Jean Courtland, the daughter of his late business partner, Triton is determined to prevent the tragedy. Despite his heartfelt warnings, Jean and her fiancé, Elliott Carson, are skeptical of his prophetic abilities. As Triton's visions intensify in detail and urgency, Jean is swayed to confront the terrifying possibility that the future is not in her hands. With time running short and tension escalating, an air of suspense envelops Triton as he desperately searches for a way to avert the impending doom. Mistrust and fear cloud the judgments of everyone involved, leading them into a dark and unpredictable path where seeing the future may not mean it can be changed.
