Jessica Tyson is called upon to use her ‘powers’ to locate a prominent Seattle businessman whose private plane went down in the Gulf of Mexico. Jesse’s relationship with David, her fiancé, takes a ‘hit’ when he learns that they are not off for a fun-in-the sun vacation, but rather she’s actually brought him along on another of Sergeant Cardon’s missing person assignments.  Danger lurks in every step of Jessica’s search through the jungle of Mexico. The wife of the missing man is determined to collect his life insurance. She wants him found dead — or plans to have him killed if found alive. What can that possibly mean for Jessica and David?
