Nelson Kohler is driving in Wisconsin when the White Event occurs. Blinded by the flash, he drives off the road and crashes. At the hospital Kohler is kept alive by machines and his wife, Maureen, has the doctors remove him from life support. When his body dies, Kohler becomes conscious only to find that he is intangible and unable to communicate with others. He finds himself strangely drawn elsewhere and witnesses the emergence of the powers of the group of paranormals who will become "D.P. 7".
