The two things that conjured up that horrible night were his run of luck at the Wheel of Fortune and the mask...

Meet Johnny Smith. A young man whose streak of luck ends dramatically in a major car crash, followed by blackness—a long, long time in cold limbo.

When he wakes up, life has been turned upside down. His fiancée has met someone else. And Johnny is cursed with the power to perceive evil in men's souls. He's had these hunches since he had an ice-skating accident as a child. Now, he has an ability to see into the future, an ability which will bring him into a terrifying confrontation with a charismatic, power-hungry, and dangerous man.

The Dead Zone presents a chilling journey where the power to see the future is both a gift and a curse.
