This film follows three people who have their own problems with death. George Lonegan (Matt Damon), an American who is able to talk to the dead and say what his loved ones could not say during his lifetime. George does not like that. Marie Lelay (Cécile de France), a French journalist who was hit by a tsunami and survived. She believes that she actually died and it changes her personality, which endangers her career. And Marcus (identical twins, Frankie McLaren and George McLaren), an English boy whose twin brother has died and who has a hard time dealing with it.
