The film is about a psychic doctor, John Clancy (Anthony Hopkins), who works with FBI special agent Joe Merriwether (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in search of serial killer Charles Ambrose (Colin Farrell). The film's script was originally planned and developed as a sequel to the 1995 thriller film Se7en, but the idea was eventually scrapped. Solace was completed as a standalone film. Plot Dr. John Clancy has lived in isolation since the death of his daughter two years before. The psychic is contacted by his friend, Joe Merriwether, an FBI special agent, who asks for his help in tracking down a serial killer with very elaborate methods. Joe seems unable to convince Clancy, but when his partner Katherine Cowles enters and touches him on the shoulder after giving him the case files, he envisions a violent future event with blood spilling down Katherine's forehead, among other insights into her life. Clancy reluctantly agrees. FBI special agent Cowles, Merriwether's partner, is skeptical of his gift, but is soon convinced otherwise. The victims are all found to have been suffering from terminal illnesses. Clancy realizes the killer has abilities exceeding his own. Merriwether is shot by the suspect. He says that he was diagnosed with terminal cancer before dying in the hospital.
