Premise
Cassie Bedford has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts, which can be unpleasant to experience. However, sometimes she is able to help them, and sometimes she is willing. Her foster father, Detective Tom Hackett, knows about her abilities, and his skeptical new partner, a former FBI agent named Damien Asante, becomes a believer when her visions start to help them solve cases.[2]
Cast and characters
Main
- Harriet Dyer as Cassie Bedford, a bartender with unexplained psychic abilities, including being able to converse with spirits and witnessing moments that have occurred in the past. She copes with her "gift" by using it to aid the police, in part to avoid winding up like her mother, who rejected her gift and abandoned Cassie before succumbing to alcoholism.
- Justin Cornwell as Det. Damien Asante, a former FBI profiler and LAPD detective who transfers to Seattle in search of new opportunities. It is later revealed that he actually transferred to watch over his fiancée Sally, who is presently in a coma.
- Cindy Luna as Det. Maria Salinas, a member of Tom's unit
- Anne-Marie Johnson as Lt. Swanstrom, Tom and Damien's superior.
- Chad James Buchanan as Will, Cassie's coworker and occasional romantic partner. He is currently training to be a chef.
- Paul Blackthorne as Det. Tom Hackett, an English-born officer with the Seattle PD. He and his husband Brian raised Cassie, although Brian is bothered that Tom chooses to exploit Cassie's powers as a police resource.
Recurring
- Michael B. Silver as Brian Currie, Tom's husband and a professional therapist
- Andres Joseph as Det. Zayn Meier, an investigator specializing in digital tracking and forensics
- Sean Bolger as Ed Roven, a serial killer active in Texas during the 1990s, who was caught and later executed in 2005. He appears as a spirit to Cassie, seeking help leaving the "InBetween".
- Grace Lynn Kung as Amy Shu, medical examiner
