Mysterious Ways

S01E08: The Ties That Bind

Declan's overwhelmed assistant Miranda starts to act strangely, and along with three other people, she finds herself drawn to a bridge in New Zealand. Though none of them know why they're there, all of them feel the urge to jump off this bridge. As the mystery unfolds, they discover that the bond they have between them is deeper than they ever imagined.

Overview

Declan Dunn has a fascination with mystical phenomena that began when he was buried under an avalanche and given up for dead. After he miraculously survived, he committed his life to investigating miracles and the absolute proof of their existence. Now a professor of Anthropology at a leading Oregon university, Declan has the training, support staff and the opportunity to study the uncanny, inexplicable phenomena people call "miracles". With the help of Peggy, a skeptical psychiatrist, and Miranda, a research student, the three embark on a quest to explain what science cannot.
