Synopsis

The Seventh Sense is an exciting look at the future when evolution has given man the ability to read the mind of others. It's the story of Brad Evans and his struggle to come to grips with what psychologists describes as a gift of such immense potential, that to miss the opportunity to understand it would be failing in a duty to humankind. Because of his formidable mental capacity, Brad is an outcast from the traditional learning environment and as a young boy becomes a full time 'patient' at a teaching hospital attached to a large University. There he meets Jenny, an exceptionally gifted student, who suffers from incapacitating migraine headaches. Brad begins the painful process of learning to control his telepathy, while he and Jenny accumulate graduate degrees from the University at a phenomenal pace. They become lecturers and feed off each other's talents and unique abilities. Jenny starts to develop her own Seventh Sense. Brad makes a fortune on the Futures Markets by using his Seventh Sense but in the process, he comes to the attention of the Bureau of Strategic Studies, an enforcement arm of the now defunct Russian Secret Service. The next round of the SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) is underway, and Jenny is kidnapped to force Brad to help the Russians influence the Americans into submission. Brad can't use his powers to locate Jenny or deny the demands of the Russians without her kidnappers killing her. The world is racing towards a disaster and even a Seventh Sense may not be enough to save the planet.
