On the advice of a fortune teller in a bathroom, Janet Varney leaves showbiz behind to become a psychic. Exploring her gifts (such as they are), Janet parses the future of a Los Angeles populated by the famous, the not-yet-famous, from aspiring cult leaders to aging boy bands. She reads palms, cards and the occasional piece of cheese to help those seeking answers, herself most of all.
