Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik - The Timekeeper, In God's Country) is a highly skilled paramedic with a secret - he can read minds.

Toby never really knew his parents and grew up in foster care, this coupled with his secret, which he shares with no one, has made him a bit of a loner. Until now, Toby has kept his ability hidden, exploring its possibilities only with his long time mentor and confidente Dr. Ray Mercer (Colm Feore - 24: Redemption, Changeling).

Making the rounds of Toronto with his energetic paramedic partner Osman "Oz" Bey (Ennis Esmer - Billable Hours, Young People F*#king), The Listener follows Toby as he tries to help people in crisis and in the process heal some of his own wounds. While his professional life is in check, Toby's personal life could use its own rescue.

It's a good thing he has Oz's good humour to keep him centered and living in the moment. And with the help of the tough but tender Detective Charlie Marks (Lisa Marcos - Flashpoint, Kevin Hill) and his ER doctor ex-girlfriend Olivia Fawcett (Mylène Dinh-Robic - Stargate Atlantis, Da Vinci's Inquest), Toby realizes his gift can help others.

Toby's boss George Ryder (Arnold Pinnock - Life with Derek) and Detective Sergeant Brian Becker (Anthony Lemke - Rumours, The Last Templar) round out the cast.
