Ryan Field, an engineer and devout family man, wakes up one morning from a disturbing dream in which he had witnessed the abduction of a child. His wife sits at the kitchen table reading the morning paper, horrified by a story of a kidnapped little girl on the other side of town. There were no witnesses, and the police have no leads. Later that day, Ryan drives by the home on the other side of town where the abduction took place. Everything is as it appeared in his dream, except Ryan can clearly recall details of the kidnapper and the vehicle, right down to the license plate number. His anonymous tip to a police sergeant in town helps solve the crime. In the following weeks more anonymous tips to the same officer result in additional unsolved crimes being solved. FBI Agent Mike McShea takes notice of the flurry of crimes solved by this one particular small-town officer, which eventually leads him to Ryan Field. Agent McShea has his own plans for Ryan - and they don't include solving crimes.
