Gabrielle is a telepath, who plies her trade as what she calls a "freelancer." As she's going about her day, she's attacked by thugs, and thinks that it must have to do with a recent offer that she's turned down. However, when she meets Dustin, a telekinetic she can't "read," she begins to suspect that there might be a lot more at stake than the hurt feelings of an ex-client. She's not sure if she should trust the attractive and charismatic telekinetic, but as the threats against her get more intense, she finds she must—in spite of her distrust of her attraction to him.
