Season two of The Dead Zone finds psychic Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall) still reeling from the visions of a nuclear holocaust brought about by shaking hands with ambitious Congressional candidate Greg Stillson (Sean Patrick Flanery). But before he can act upon this chilling premonition, Johnny must use his talents to rescue the kidnapped son of a billionaire. It turns out that the boy's captor, Bible-obsessed Francis Ritter (Eric Schaeffer), is convinced that Johnny is the reincarnation of Daniel the Prophet -- and is determined to prove this conviction, even if innocent blood must be shed in the process.

In the first episode of a two-part story, Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) joins forces with Sheriff Bannerman (Chris Bruno) to rescue four teens, trapped in a cave-in at an abandoned copper mine. For Johnny, the rescue mission is an act of redemption: The mine was once owned by his grandfather, whose shoddy, cost-cutting workmanship resulted in a similarly disastrous cave-in back in 1949. Meanwhile, Bannerman, who has begun to suspect that there is something between his wife and Johnny (Nicole de Boer), experiences a disturbing vision.

In the conclusion of a two-part story, Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) and Walt Bannerman (Chris Bruno) have successfully rescued four teenagers from a mine cave-in, but in the process Walt was seriously -- and perhaps fatally -- injured. Using his psychic powers to enter the mind of the comatose Bannerman in an effort to resuscitate his friend, Johnny finally realizes that it was predestined that his former fiancée, Sarah (Nicole de Boer), would marry Walt and not him. Things take a dark turn when a vision of Walt's deceased father appears -- a vision capable of killing both Walt and Johnny.

As part of his mission to prevent the mass marketing of an anti-wrinkle cream that will cause birth defects, Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) tries to locate Thomas Berke (David Julian Hirsh), the doctor destined to prove beyond all doubt that the cream is dangerous. Working together with reporter Dana (Kristen Dalton), Johnny plays matchmaker between Berke and his future wife, Claire (Stacy Grant), knowing that their union will result in the deformed child that will spark Berke's investigation. But upon finding out what is in store for her, Claire has no intention of fulfilling her part of the prophecy.

Sustaining an injury while rescuing a young boy, Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) receives a transfusion of plasma created from the blood of six different donors. As a result, Johnny experiences multiple visions through the eyes of all the donors -- and discovers that one of them will die. Johnny's efforts to pinpoint and save the "doomed" donor before his visions fade are seriously impeded by the reckless-endangerment suit filed by the mother of the boy whom Johnny rescued.

In his efforts to prevent the election of Congressional candidate Greg Stillson (Sean Patrick Flanery) -- which may precipitate a nuclear holocaust -- Johnny joins the re-election campaign of Stillson's opponent, war hero Harrison Fisher (Gerald McRaney). As it turns out, however, Fisher is harboring a sinister secret that will result in dire consequences if he goes to Congress. This places Johnny in the unenviable position of choosing between the "lesser" of two very large evils.

In this twisted spin on The Blair Witch Project, Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) is kidnapped by three strange young women who want him to solve a long-ago murder. That's the official story, though each of our hero's captors has her own personal agenda. One of the ladies (Erin Karpluk) plans to film Johnny's captivity and make him a "star" of the Internet; another (Tracey Gold) hopes that Johnny will be the father of her child; and the third member of the trio (Alicia Coppola) is definitely not to be taken at face value.

While flying to Washington with Rev. Purdy (David Ogden Stiers), Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall) has a vision of their plane crashing. At first, it seems as though the pilot and the co-pilot will be responsible for the disaster. But when it turns out that the two "culprits" are destined to save the plane rather than allow it to crash, Johnny is once more reluctantly pressed into the role of hero.

While trying to escape his adoring fans, Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) experiences a horrifying vision: himself vanishing into nothingness after making contact with an as-yet-determined item. Soon afterward, Johnny meets a reclusive stranger, Jeffrey Grissom (Robert Culp), who has had a similar psychic vision -- and who promptly disappears as though he never existed. In his efforts to prove that Grissom is not a figment of his imagination (and, hopefully, to save himself from a similar fate), Johnny stumbles upon an elaborate governmental cover up.
