The video was premiered on September 5, 2009, and features Esmeralda playing four roles: private investigator Samantha Wright (the main role), a newscaster, a murder victim, and a fortune teller. Paulo Araujo co-stars as Al Peryse, a police officer who had worked with Samantha on many cases, and now has to arrest her.

After noticing patterns with a series of murders, Samantha Wright finds out that she herself has been responsible for them while possessed by a ghost in her sleep! Upon finding out only she can stop the ghost (and after receiving her fortune), she kills herself before she can kill anyone else.

 * Samantha Wright is buried next to Johnny Silver; this is the name of the character in the video for Luke Ramada's single Life Imitates Fiction; Luke duetted with Paulo on the single Extinction Of The Shy
