In “Sign of the Archer,” Justin an archeologist gifted with clairvoyance is asked to join homeland security to become its living deterrent. His foresight is clouded by falling in love with Priya, an Indonesian model, who is his partner in anti-terrorism, as they both seek to safeguard a presidential visit.
