Johnny's life is nearly perfect... until a near-fatal car crash that leaves him in a deep coma. Six years later, Johnny finally regains consciousness and discovers that the life he once knew is gone. His mother has passed away, and Sarah has gone on to marry someone else - and the child she and her husband, the local sheriff, are now raising is Johnny's son. But Johnny himself is also not the same person he once was: he now finds himself in possession of amazing psychic powers which allow him to see into the lives of anyone he touches. Before he even leaves the hospital, he helps save the life of a nurse's daughter after having a miraculous vision, in which he sees
Miranda is going ahead with her marriage to Stilson, for all the wrong reasons, and Johnny begs her to keep the faith that he will find a way out for her. It's discovered that Stilson's wedding will be televised on Faith Heritage with Reverend Purdy performing the ceremony. When Johnny has a vision about Miranda being killed afterwords, he and Bruce must race against the clock to try to stop it from happening. Meanwhile, someone has leaked information on the nation's most vulnerable terrorist targets. Johnny and Bruce discover it was Stillson's right hand man/thug Janus whom is aware about Johnny's psychic powers and knows how to be elusive. Johnny and Bruce endeavor to put a stop to Janus' plan... despite not knowing what the plan really is, and are equally unaware about Janus own psychic powers.
It's July 4, and Bruce and Johnny are headed to Boston for the harbor fireworks. On the way out of town, Johnny foresees Bruce's death in a car accident. Later, the pair are stuck with a few hundred newfound friends on a locked-down stretch of Interstate 95. Johnny's visions begin to foresee a multiple fatality pileup occurring, and tries to stop people from leaving. But elsewhere, a dangerous escaped felon is loose somewhere near the highway.

He soon finds he may have to help them escape to prevent innocent people from being killed. Purdy finances the Faith Heritage Organization which is having a showing of religious artifacts.

It turns out he squandered and gambled away all the lottery money, totaling over $1 million. This resulted in the loss of his house and his wife leaving him over his constant and unwise lavish spending. The insane man, Boyd, is a natural-born, hapless loser who forces Johnny to help him out on a robbery, before showing that his gun is empty. But then Boyd, being the immature, bad luck-prone loser he is, loses all the money gained in the robbery in a poker game despite Johnny's attempts to help him. Meanwhile, Walt goes searching for Johnny when he misses a lunch date with him and Sarah. He ends up trying to save Johnny and Boyd from a hit man hired by a loan shark who Boyd borrowed more money from and naturally squandered it.

He soon finds out that the place is loaded with explosives and must stop a confrontation between the cult leader and the FBI, before the entire place goes up in flames. However, Stillson makes another appearance and does not pass up the opportunity to exploit the situation. He plays the fear-card for his own gain for further admiration and power for himself.

When Sarah and J.J. go missing, Johnny helps Walt search for them through his visions. It turns out that Linda Finney, the Collector's captive-turned-protégé is back and seeking revenge against Johnny and Walt. She sees them guilty as for killing her true companion. But with a hard-nosed and skeptic FBI agent hindering Johnny and Walt's investigation, Johnny himself is captured by the deranged woman. She subjects Johnny to mind games, hoping to play on Walt's panic and determination to let him kill her, while Sarah learns during her time in captivity that she happens to be pregnant.
Johnny stumbles upon a conspiracy to assassinate the Vice President. The plan, headed by Janus and his mysterious Illuminati, is to take over the government so that Stillson can assume the vice president's place. A vision of a murder leads Johnny to a paranoid and controversial radio show host, named Marshall Frost.
