The mentalist is Patrick Jane (Simon Baker in an acclaimed performance), a celebrity psychic whose wife and child are viciously murdered by an elusive serial killer called Red John. Devastated, Patrick admits his paranormal act is fake, renounces his earlier life and uses his astonishing skills of observation and analysis, talents that made him appear psychically gifted, to bring killers to justice. But no matter how many criminals he catches, Patrick never forgets his central goal: Find Red John. And bring him down.
