Medzi nebom a zemou jestvujú veci, ktoré sa vymykajú ľudskému chápaniu... Maggie Barnesová dostala od osudu do vienka výnimočnú schopnosť vcítiť sa do kože iných ľudí. Jej empatiu, predstavivosť a umelecký talent využíva polícia pri pátraní po páchateľoch trestných činov, pretože na základe výpovedí obetí dokáže nakresliť ich verné portréty. Pri vyšetrovaní série únosov však musí Maggie rozlúsknuť naozaj tvrdý oriešok. Obete týchto zločinov totiž nie sú schopné opísať útočníka, pretože si dáva veľký pozor, aby ho nemohli podľa ničoho identifikovať. Vyšetrovateľom pomáha aj John Garrett, brat jednej z obetí. V priebehu niekoľkých dní sa medzi ním, neveriacim Tomášom, a Maggie napriek dramatickým okolnostiam zrodí nežný cit.
