I liked her and her best friend Stubby quite a bit in the beginning. It was easy to like Maddie as the shy teenager from a broken home.

She uses Maddie’s gift to have sessions with people and warn them off for some extra cash. Following her father’s death, her mother goes on a downward spiral and becomes an alcoholic.

A suspect for the investigation, a target for the murderer, and attracting the attentions of a mysterious young admirer who may be connected to it all, Maddie's whole existence is about to be turned upside down. Soon, Maddie is entangled in a homicide investigation, and more young people disappear and are later found murdered. When the boy goes missing on that exact date, law enforcement turns to Maddie. Her earliest memories are marked by these numbers, but it takes her father’s premature death for Maddie and her family to realize that these mysterious digits are actually death dates, and just like birthdays, everyone has one.įorced by her alcoholic mother to use her ability to make extra money, Maddie identifies the quickly approaching death date of one client's young son, but because her ability only allows her to see the when and not the how, she’s unable to offer any more insight.
