Show Guide: 'A Gifted Man'

Synopsis: Materialistic surgeon Michael Holt (Patrick Wilson) always believed in working hard for the luxuries in life until he started seeing the dead. Specifically his ex-wife, Anna, who in life was an idealistic doctor who worked with the underprivileged. When Holt decides to heed her request to help keep her old clinic running, he is touched by those who need his help, and his attitude about serving the poor turns upside down in the process. Michael's off-beat sister, single mother Christina, is happy about Anna's "return" to Michael's life because she feels he was a better person with Anna around. (Courtesy CBS, 2011)
