Episode 1 - "Thy Kingdom Come, Part I" & Episode 2 - "Thy Kingdom Come, Part II" Artist Peter Rickman is run down by a stoned, two-time loser driving a minivan.

When he awakens in an altered state with newfound but not necessarily welcome telepathic powers, Rickman finds he can communicate with the spirits, good and evil, man and beast, inhabiting the hospital. Mrs. Druse, a patient with psychic gifts, is the first to hear the cries of the trapped ghost and attempts to persuade brilliant, eccentric surgeon Dr. Hook to join her quest to identify it.
