Humor
Teddy Telemachus is a charming con man with a gift for
sleight of hand and some shady underground associates. In
need of cash, he tricks his way into a classified
government study about telekinesis and its possible role
in intelligence gathering. There he meets Maureen
McKinnon, and it’s not just her piercing blue eyes that
leave Teddy forever charmed, but her mind—Maureen is a
genuine psychic of immense and mysterious power. After a
whirlwind courtship, they marry, have three gifted
children, and become the Amazing Telemachus Family,
performing astounding feats across the country. Irene is
a human lie detector. Frankie can move objects with his
mind. And Buddy, the youngest, can see the future. Then
one night tragedy leaves the family shattered. Decades later, the Telemachuses are not so amazing. Irene
is a single mom whose ear for truth makes it hard to hold
down a job, much less hold together a relationship.
Frankie’s in serious debt to his dad’s old mob
associates. Buddy has completely withdrawn into himself
and inexplicably begun digging a hole in the backyard. To
make matters worse, the CIA has come knocking, looking to
see if there’s any magic left in the Telemachus clan. And
there is: Irene’s son Matty has just had his first out-
of-body experience. But he hasn’t told anyone, even
though his newfound talent might just be what his family
needs to save themselves—if it doesn’t tear them apart in
the process.
