FBI Special agent Brad Raines is facing his toughest case yet. A Denver serial killer has killed four beautiful young women, leaving a bridal veil at each crime scene, and he`s picking up his pace. Unable to crack the case, Raines appeals for help from a most unusual source: residents of the Center for Wellness and Intelligence, a private psychiatric institution for mentally ill individuals whose are extraordinarily gifted. It`s there that he meets Paradise, a young woman who witnessed her father murder her family and barely escaped his hand. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Paradise may also have an extrasensory gift: the ability to experience the final moments of a person`s life when she touches the dead body. In a desperate attempt to find the killer, Raines enlists Paradise`s help. In an effort to win her trust, he befriends this strange young woman and begins to see in her qualities that most `sane people` sorely lack. Gradually, he starts to question whether sanity resides outside the hospital or inside. As the Bride Collector picks up the pace-and volume-of his gruesome crucifixions, the case becomes even more personal to Raines when his friend and colleague, a beautiful young forensic psychologist, becomes the Bride Collector`s next target. The FBI believes that the killer plans to murder seven women. Can Paradise help before it`s too late?
