WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Ali Davis (Henson) is a successful sports agent who is beginning to grow tired of being constantly boxed out by her male colleagues, especially when she is passed up for a well-deserved promotion. However, an encounter with a psychic and a blow to the head leaves her with the ability to hear men’s thoughts, which she begins to use so she can outsmart her colleagues and finally get what she deserves…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
