For a wildly popular rock band like Radiohead, it would seem that rejection is a scarce sentiment the group has to face when it comes to their artistic material. After all, the band's contributions to alternative rock remain significant, with several of their albums — including the masterful "Ok Computer" and the beautiful, bizarre "Kid A" — completely redefining the meaning of experimental music within the confines of the genre. Moreover, one will often stumble upon a Radiohead track being used in films to heighten ambience, key examples of which include the use of "Codex" to capture the escalating dread of "Prisoners" or the surreal use of "Everything in its Right Place" in "Vanilla Sky."

Patrick Jane (portrayed by Simon Baker), as far as we can tell, was born into a life of showmanship. He grew up in a Carney's life, traveling throughout the Midwest in various carnivals with his father, who touted the young Jane as a "Psychic Medium". Jane played the part well, perfecting his art as a swindler getting people to believe he was talking to their dead loved ones for a hefty fee. Through flashbacks, we do see that young Patrick has something of a conscience (lord knows where that conscience went later in life) and when his father tries to bilk a dying girl out of her grandmother's money, Jane has had enough. Somewhere along the way, Jane decides he's better off as a solo act and leaves his father. He meets Angela Ruskin (Maxine Bahns), daughter of carnival royalty who ran/rented the large steel rides, and they run off together.
