“School teacher Johnny Smith (Chistopher Walken) had a beautiful fiancée, a rewarding career and a fortunate life, until one tragic accident changed everything. After slamming into an 18-wheeler, Johnny is plunged into a five-year coma. When he awakens, he finds his true collision was with destiny – he now has the remarkable gift (or curse) of seeing into the future. From horror master Stephen King and Director David Cronenberg (Scanners), this supernatural thriller turns an everyday guy into a reluctant hero, saving children in danger, helping the police and finding a serial killer. But Johnny’s next vision may be his most terrifying yet.”
