Season 1 Episode Guide
Ep 1: Wheel of Fortune
Johnny Smith was leading an idyllic small-town life: working as a
high school science teacher, engaged to the love of his life, Sarah,
and being a devoted son to his widowed mother, Vera, who lives nearby.
But after a near-fatal car accident puts him in a deep coma, Johnny
awakens six years later to find everything has changed: Sarah is now is
married to someone else, local sheriff Walt Bannerman; the child they
are raising is actually Johnny's son and knows nothing about his real
father; and Johnny's mother Vera has passed away, leaving Johnny's
finances under the thumb of Reverend Purdy, an influential religious
leader who is also his mother's former lover. But, most importantly,
Johnny himself has changed: he now finds himself with the gift (or
curse) of second sight. Through visions he sees with a simple touch, he
becomes responsible for saving a nurse's little girl from a fire,
helping his Vietnamese doctor reunite with the mother he thought was
killed during the fall of Saigon, and now must prevent a local serial
killer from striking again. Now Johnny is faced with the daunting task
of coming to grips with his new powers - and navigating his way through
his new life.

Johnny's mother. In a final confrontation Johnny touches Purdy and
