Robert Londrigan has built a promising career as a television newscaster. His wife Denise carries their first child, and their future looks bright. Then tragedy strikes in a matter of hours, shattering everything Robert believed about his life. The nightmare deepens when a grotesque, scarred stranger steals his daughter's body from the morgue. Robert follows this mysterious figure into a realm where the boundaries between life and death blur. He encounters both the living and the dead, each revealing secrets about existence that challenge everything he thought he knew. The dead speak to him of truths beyond the physical world.
