What happens

Second Sight is a 1989 American science fiction black comedy film from Warner Bros. Pictures starring John Larroquette, Bronson Pinchot, Stuart Pankin, and Bess Armstrong. In the film, a paranormal detective (Larroquette), a psychic (Pinchot), and a nun (Armstrong) search the streets of Boston, Massachusetts for a missing person who has allegedly been kidnapped. Although scripted by Patricia Resnick (who previously co-wrote 9 to 5) and Oscar-winner Tom Schulman (who won for Dead Poets Society), the film was a critical and commercial failure; it garnered mostly negative reviews and earned only $5.3 million at the United States box office.
