Full Synopsis:
In the bayous near Savannah lives Annie, a widow with three young sons and a gift: she’s clairvoyant, supporting her family by reading cards. Not long after she’s menaced by Donnie Barksdale, the abusive husband of a client, the sultry daughter of a prominent citizen (and fiancée of the school principal) goes missing. Annie leads the police to the woman’s watery grave, Donnie’s pond. At the trial and after, Annie must sort through an attack on her credibility and her gift, knowledge of the dead woman’s affairs, her own attraction to the principal, and a separate crisis brought on by the mental illness of one of her neighbors. The visions won’t quit either: what if Donnie is innocent?

Trivia:
Based on Billy Bob Thornton’s own mother’s psychic abilities.

After Sam Raimi was hired as the director of Spider-Man (2002), the schedule for post production of this film conflicted with his prospective work on the other movie. In the end the two studios agreed to give Raimi more time to complete post production on this film so he could work on both films simultaneously.

Quotes:
David: Somebody might come in here
Jessica: Guess you’d better fuck me fast.

Jessica: We’re through! I don’t like being spied on. The only reason I’m with you is because my daddy likes you. You’re a joke.

Jessica: You’re not that Wilson that’s a fortune teller, are you?
Annie: I don’t call myself that.
Jessica: I’d love for you to read my fortune.
Annie: I’m pretty booked up.
Jessica: Do you think we’ll leave happily ever after?
[pause]
Jessica: What’s the matter? You see something bad?
Annie: Of course not. I’m sure you’ll be real happy together.
