Allison is having dreams about a man on trial for criminal negligence related to the death of his wife who, he claims, fell off their boat and presumably drowned while he was sound asleep. She can't do much about it however as husband Joe is serving on the jury and DA Devalos has assured the judge that she has not been working on the case. Devalos knows that his case is weak and the accused even has is father-in-law defending him and in full agreement with his story about what happened. Allison knows he is in fact somehow responsible for his wife's death and keeps dreaming and seeing a deer around some of the key participants in the case. Joe realizes there is more to the story than has been presented in court but the evidence gives the jury little to work on and face having to acquit him.
