Season 1

Tru Davies (Eliza Dushku) is smart and sexy. She has just graduated from New York University and is planning on going to medical school. After her internship at a hospital falls through, she finds herself working the midnight shift at the city morgue.

On her first night on the job, she hears the voice of a murdered woman pleading for her help. The next morning she wakes up to face the same day – 12 hours before the woman’s murder will take place.

With time as her enemy Tru is compelled to change this woman’s fate. She tries to prevent the woman from being murdered, while at the same time attempting to rescue members of her own family from their dangerous and self-destructive lives.

Directed by Phillip Noyce (The Hitchhiker), Tru Calling combines the sexiness and speed of Alias with the procedural crime format of CSI.

Season 2

At the end of season one, reliving days was far from the only complication in Tru's life. She was also battling against newcomer Jack Harper - the complete opposite of herself.

While Tru strives to save the lives of the people who land on her morgue gurney, Jack is there to ensure they remain dead...

Jack (Jason Priestley) joined the final few episodes of Tru Calling as Tru's polar opposite - his mission is to guarantee that the people who ask for Tru's help still die the second time around.

In the season finale, the two were pitted against each other in a fight to save Tru's brother Harrison. Their battle led ultimately to the shocking death of Tru's on-again, off-again boyfriend.

In season two, their battle rages on, with Jack receiving a little help from a less-than-friendly source. Tru will also be faced with the truth about her mother, who shared the same power as herself...
