Odd Thomas (Anton Yelchin) works as a short-order cook in the town of Pico Mundo, Calif., but it's a facade for his true calling: He's a clairvoyant who sees and prevents evil from happening to those around him. Thomas helps Police Chief Porter (Willem Dafoe) through his gift of seeing Bodachs -- clear demonic predators who always appear and portend horrible deaths. When Odd Thomas sees dozens of Bodachs everywhere he looks, he knows the town is on the verge of something awful. This is when he first sees the mysterious stranger Bob Robertson, a man whom Odd Thomas learns is a Satanist with a fascination with serial killers. It's up to Odd Thomas -- with the help of his girlfriend Stormy and Police Chief Porter -- to find out what Robertson's evil plan is, whom he's planning it with, and how they can be stopped before the local mall becomes a bloodbath of mass murder.
