The Listener
You think. He knows.
On CTV
A procedural crime drama built around a protagonist's hidden supernatural ability, balancing case-of-the-week structure with ongoing character isolation and the gradual revelation of his secret.
Toby Logan is a highly skilled paramedic with a secret – he can read minds. Toby never really knew his parents and grew up in foster care, this coupled with his secret, which he shares with no one, has made him a bit of a loner. Until now, Toby has kept his ability hidden, exploring its possibilities only with his long time mentor and confidante Dr. Ray Mercer.
