One fateful night will change both of their lives forever. Dr. Masterson's older sister, has set her up on yet another blind dinner date at her house and has ordered her younger sister to join. Running late and excited about a recent promotion, Elizabeth doesn't see the semi-truck coming at her head on before its too late. David Abbott (Mark Ruffalo) has decided to rent out the cozy apartment with the comfortable couch as a place to drink himself numb because of his wife's death two years ago. One night, after being quite intoxicated he is shocked to see a woman yelling at him to get out of her apartment. It turns out to be Elizabeth, who doesn't believe she is dead, even though no one else can see her but him and she cannot psychically pick anything up.

With the help of clues in her apartment and Elizabeth's shaky memory he learns that she really isn't dead, but in a coma from her accident and has some unfinished business that has enabled her to stay on Earth.
