"A Gifted Man," leading off Friday nights this fall, continues in the network's "Ghost Whisperer" vein with a medical drama about a gifted surgeon whose ex-wife speaks to him from the dead. And when she does, the charismatic doctor to the rich, Michael Holt, played by Patrick Wilson, changes his approach to medicine.

Jennifer Ehle stars as the idealistic (dearly departed) free-clinic doctor who encourages Holt to take over her urban facility for the underprivileged. Julie Benz ("Dexter") and Margo Martindale ("Justified") also star in the show from Susannah Grant ("Erin Brockovich") and Jonathan Demme ("Silence of the Lambs").
