Las Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which torments him: he can see a few minutes into the future. Sick of the examinations he underwent as a child and the interest of the government and medical establishment in his power, he lies low under an assumed name in Vegas, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling "winnings." But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm.

Neon-soaked Las Vegas becomes a frantic chessboard when a low-rent magician discovers his ability to glimpse the immediate future is being hunted by federal agents. This ticking-clock thriller trades slow pacing for a relentless, cerebral race against an inevitable catastrophe.
