Callan Nevins hates and rejects her psychic talent and wants nothing more than to be an ordinary person. Bianca Dias Cavalcantis, telepathic terrorist and criminal mastermind, relishes the psychic realm and playing it down and dirty. She intends to assimilate Callan and her paranormal powers through intimidation, murder and mayhem.
Callan must embrace the psychic world, both the comical and the destructive, to terminate Bianca's malevolent plans for herself, her friends and her family. She finds a mentor in Rosemary, an elderly and quirky psychic, who introduces Callan to the astral plane, telepathy and telekinesis.
Before long, Callan has learned how to zap trash into outer space with telekinesis, speak telepathically and chew at the same time, and draw on the earth's erotic aura (accidentally giving your boyfriend an overdose is a no-no). All the while, having a spirited time sparring for dominance with Bianca.
But Bianca is playing for keeps and in a last attempt to control Callan, she forces her into a final supernatural high noon…where the winner takes all.
