Synopsis
Throughout the series, Williams shares stories of people wanting to be reunited with someone from their past, while offering personal observations and insights.
In each episode cameras follow a typical day in the life of Lisa Williams, as she allegedly communicates with the dead, investigates haunted houses, and conducts other spirit-seeking activities.
Apparently when Lisa removes her hat, it's her way of showing the spirit world that she is available for contact.
Lisa gives readings in her office to scheduled clients as well as to "strangers" while she is out and about in Los Angeles, often giving impromptu readings to people on the street.
In these meetings, she claims to relay messages that she believes are from the dead to their relatives and friends. Lisa also visits believed haunted locations, where she seeks to make peace among all residents - living and deceased.
The series also observes Lisa at home, giving a glimpse of how these stories affect her personal life with her husband, Kevin, and her six-year-old son, Charlie, who they think already shows an interest in natural healing and talking with spirits.
Williams claims she has spoken to Bob Hope, Princess Diana, Natalie Wood, Marilyn Monroe and Ray Charles after they died.
