Charlie Haverford is a scammer with a small chain of fortune-telling storefronts and contracts building tricks for a family that controls the business in the greater chunk of Los Angeles.
A blow to the head from a client’s angry boyfriend intersects with a hypnosis session while auditioning a new ‘clairvoyant’, and suddenly, a man whose entire life has been based on fraud begins to see and feel some very real and fundamental truths.
The second season follows the activities of storefront psychics and the underground criminal syndicate that controls them. It centres on a disgruntled former player in that world who begins to experience visions.
This series premiered on Hulu in 2016 and was axed after two seasons. Shut Eye stars Jeffrey Donovan, KaDee Strickland, David Zayas, Isabella Rossellini, and Angus Sampson.
