Architect, Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) finds out the hard way that messing with the supernatural can mess with your life. Successful and happily married, Jonathan has his world thrown out of gear when his wife, Anna (Chandra West) goes missing. Before her body is found, however, he is approached by a man called Raymond Price (Ian McNeice) who tells him that his wife is dead and that she has been communicating with him. Jonathan, not surprisingly, sends him on his way.
After Anna’s death is confirmed – supposedly the result of an accident – Jonathan contacts Raymond who tells him about EVP – Electronic Voice Phenomenon – in which the dead are able to reach us through the aforementioned static. For some reason, this cannot be achieved “live” and recordings have to be made and then viewed or listened to endlessly in the search for contact. When Jonathan hears Raymond’s tape of Anna’s voice, he’s soon anxious to find more messages from her. Raymond warns him that not everyone he’ll tune into will be friendly – far from it, in fact, as Raymond’s own fate quickly confirms.
There’s a good and bad side to this method of making contact with the other side. Anna is able to convey clues to Jonathan about certain bad things before they happen, which allows him, for instance, to arrive on the scene of an accident in time to rescue a baby from a crashed car. Even Sarah (Deborah Kara Unger), one of Raymond’s other clients and a firm believer in EVP, finds this development a little hard to believe. While he’s receiving these messages from beyond, however, Jonathan is also releasing sinister forces that have their own malevolent agenda and do not take kindly to his meddling. When one of the clues puts him on the trail of a serial killer, he discovers the depth of the evil he has let loose…
