Travis Anderson has a psychic gift. Or so he thinks. So
far he's milked his premonitions only to acquire an upper-
middle-class lifestyle--pretty wife, big house, and a shiny
Range Rover--without having to make any real effort. But
recent visions threaten his yuppie contentment. Haunted by
omens of impending cancers, stillborn babies, and personal
train wrecks, he is compelled to make a series of
inaccurate and horrifying prophecies that humiliate him in
front of his fellow country club members. The IRS gets
Travis's number, too, demanding an audit of his sloppy
bookkeeping. Drowning in mounting financial problems and apparent mental
illness, Travis tries booze, pills, even golf to stay
afloat, but nothing works. His wife and friends are forced
to stage an intervention. Travis is in danger of losing his
family, his career, and ultimately, his sanity. That is,
until he meets a Hindu holy man in rehab who claims to be
the final incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Suddenly, the
tragically shallow Travis is saddled with the
responsibility of bettering mankind and saving the world.
