The Dead Zone

2002 - 2007 TV-14 1h 00m 7.3

Johnny had the perfect life until he was in coma for six years. When he awoke, he found his fiancee married to another man. His son doesn't know him. Everything's changed, including Johnny. With one touch, he can see things.

Johnny Smith has been leading an idyllic small-town life; as a science teacher he takes great pleasure in showing his young students the wonders of the natural world. He is also newly-engaged to loving fiancée Sarah, a fellow teacher he's known since childhood, and is a good son to his widowed mother, who lives nearby. His nearly-perfect life is interrupted by a near-fatal car crash that leaves him in a deep coma. Six years later he finally regains consciousness and discovers that life as he knew it has completely changed: His mother has passed away and Sarah has married someone else. As for Johnny, he discovers he now possesses amazing psychic powers that allow him to see into the lives of anyone he touches. As he attempts to reacquaint himself with life and the people he used to know, he also begins to come to terms with his new abilities, which might turn out to be a blessing and a curse. Helping him make a fresh start are his physical trainer Bruce, who becomes a close friend; his mother's priest Gene Purdy, who sets up a trust fund for him--but might not be looking out for his best interests; and Sarah, who must find a way to make Johnny part of her life again without risking her relationship with her husband and son.
