Executive produced by Tony Krantz ('24') and Victoria Holt, 'The Gift' is a unique six-episode, one-hour weekly reality series delving into the world of psychic phenomena in a way never seen before. After testing the baseline psychic abilities of people throughout the country, eight contestants will be selected to participate in an emotionally intense "boot camp for intuitives."
