The story of "The Listener" revolves around Toby Logan, a 25-year-old paramedic played by Craig Olejnik, who has a huge secret -- he is a telepath. All along, Toby has hidden his abilities, only toying with them in front of his old friend and mentor, Dr. Ray Mercer. As he works shifts with his energetic ambulance partner "Oz" Bey, played by Ennis Esmer, the lens of "The Listener" follows Toby as he tries to help people in crisis, gradually uncovering the truth about his past. At the same time that his job is in jeopardy, Toby's personal life is also unsatisfactory. With the help of Chief Charlie Marks, played by Lisa Marcos, and emergency doctor/former girlfriend Olivia Fawcett, played by Mylène Dinh-Robic, Toby realizes that his abilities can help others.
