The movie follows the story of Odd Thomas played by the late Anton Yelchin, a young man with paranormal abilities who uses his gift to help stop evil forces. Set in the small California town of Pico Mundo, the story follows Odd Thomas, a fry cook who can see dead people. He uses his ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead to help solve crimes and prevent tragedies. Alongside his girlfriend Stormy Llewellyn played by Addison Timlin, Odd leads a relatively quiet life until he begins seeing haunting visions of a horrific massacre about to occur in his town.
