Theresa Caputo lives in the real world, but she spends most of her time in the spirit world. Caputo is an average mum from Long Island, New York, in every way except one: she talks to the dead. This series chronicles the work Theresa does each day as she helps her varied clients find closure and connect with loved ones who have passed. She conducts both private and group readings and deals with sceptics as well as believers. At home, husband Larry and kids Victoria and Larry accept the work she does, although they don't always love it. In the Caputo house, dad and kids think the spirits always come first, but for Theresa there is no escaping her gift.
