Pilot

Jack Whelan is a former Los Angeles Police Department detective who is asked to investigate strange occurrences related to a string of attempted suicides. Despite his efforts, he's stonewalled at every turn. Baffled, he concentrates his search on a secret society, Qui Reverti, whose members chase immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others after their own deaths. Agents of the society, called "Shepherds", find the hosts of the returning souls and show them "triggers" - items important to the returning Qui Reverti members in their past lives - that "awaken" the returning soul. Once awakened, they will commit suicide, forcing the host's soul to go to the afterlife if their will isn't strong enough to force the "intruder" to go instead. In Jack Whealen's case, this destroys his marriage when his wife's body is taken by an intruder.

A serial killer named Marcus Fox comes back to life in the body of little girl. Both souls fight for control, causing their memories to become confused. The struggle is exacerbated when the little girl becomes aware of the Qui Reverti guidebook for returning souls, and begins using the information without truly understanding it.
