For Charlie, magicians and fortune-tellers both rely on tricks. Charlie's mindset changes, however, after a blow to the head from a client's angry boyfriend.
With newfound insight, Charlie questions everything he has ever believed about psychic ability.
Meanwhile, Charlie's wife Linda (KaDee Strickland, PRIVATE PRACTICE) is sick and tired of their mediocre life and wants her and Charlie to break free from Fonso Marks (Angus Sampson, FARGO), whose family controls all of the psychic and fortune-telling businesses in L.A.
Screen legend Isabella Rossellini co-stars as Rita, the cunning, seductive, and sadistic matriarch of the Marks clan.
