Theresa Caputo is an average mom from Long Island in every way except one: she talks to the dead. Theresa spends her days with her loving family and helping individuals connect to the spirits of their departed loved ones. This is not her job…this is her life.
We are introduced to Theresa and her family. She finds it very hard to "turn off" her gift and her daughter bets her she can't make it through a family BBQ without reading all of their guests.
Theresa does a group reading for passengers aboard a cruise ship. Later, Theresa's husband has a big surprise for her.
