Always moving from one fun thing to another, Shawn Spencer was never able to hold on to a job for more than 6 months. But he does have uncanny abilities in observation and possesses what seems to be a photographic memory. These abilities enable Shawn to solve crimes.

He had a habit of calling in tips to the police regarding cases he has read on the newspaper or seen on TV. One day when was going to claim his reward for another solved crime, Detective Lassiter wanted to arrest him on the grounds that the information Shaw provided was too good. It was too good to a point that the only way a person can have that kind of information is if he is an accomplice of the criminal. But with the help of his quick thinking, he was able to talk his way out of his predicament by claiming that he is psychic and proves it with the help of his observation skills. Because his alibi checked out and the police had no way of disproving it, they had no chance but to let him go.

As Shawn was on his way out the Interim Chief Vick stopped him. She asked Shawn to help them solve a kidnapping case. The investigation hit a wall and the chief thought that a miracle may pull through in the form of a psychic.

This however for Shawn is an indication that he has just found his new career. He immediately goes to his friend Gus, a pharmaceutical representative, and drags him to join the adventure. Gus was reluctant but at the same interested so he gave it a shot.

The pilot episode then continues with Shawn and Gus investigating the kidnapping of Camden McCallum, Jr. the sole heir to the textile fortune of the McCullum.
