Description
We all need a little magic in our lives but can we tell the difference between magic and lies? Gil Godsend is the world's greatest psychic medium. Claudia Cox thinks he's the world's biggest fraud. Once a professional skeptic, Claudia spent many years trying to expose Gil, but no one believed that the charismatic and handsome psychic could be a con artist. They would rather believe that Claudia has sour grapes because she and Gil were once lovers. Unable to reveal him to be a fraud, she moves on with her life and founds Suspicious Minds, a detective agency that catches cheating spouses. Years later, a few of Gil's disgruntled female clients come out of the woodwork with shocking stories to tell. They beg for Claudia's help. She convinces these grieving widows that Gil is using magic tricks to give the appearance that he's a psychic medium and that he can't really talk to the dead. They want revenge. With the help of famous mentalist Banachek, Claudia masterminds plans to catch Gil in the act of cheating but each sting fails dismally. Gil comes out smelling like roses while Claudia looks like a fool. Will Claudia ever expose Gil as a charlatan? Maybe he really is psychic. Or is something more sinister going on behind the scenes?
