"Kayla's true 'condition' makes her the one patient Margaret can't save," a synopsis said. "Across North Carolina, disparate people realize they're connected by the same haunting. Their only hope is a fractured family battling the repercussions of a teenage pregnancy, addiction, and the discovery that they belong to a subset of people with supersensory abilities, Wildings."

Spiro, 38, is known for her work on TV's My Boys, The Good Wife, The Mob Doctor and Blindspot.
