Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) is a Toronto paramedic with a special power: He can [[Psychic Powers|hear people's thoughts]]. With his partner Osman "Oz" Bey (Ennis Esmer) and his on-again, off-again ex Dr. Olivia Fawcett (Mylène Dinh-Robic), Toby helps people he encounters in his work.
In Season 1, Toby helps Detective Charlie Marks (Lisa Marcos) investigate crimes for the police, but his main focus is discovering what happened to his mother and understanding his powers with the help of his mentor, Ray Mercer (Colm Feore). The show [[Retool|abandons this storyline]] and characters for Season 2 and focuses on the crimesolving, with Toby becoming an official police informant for Sergeant Michelle McCluskey (Lauren Lee Smith) and Corp. Dev Clark (Rainbow Sun Francks).
