MattDamon stars as George, a man who has PsychicPowers (he can communicate with the dead) and was once a celebrity, but [[IJustWantToBeNormal prefers a blue-collar life in a factory]]. Cecile de France plays a reporter who is badly injured in the Indian tsunami of 2004 and suffers a NearDeathExperience. Later, she finds herself obsessed with the afterlife and is unable to work.

The movie doesn't actually answer any questions about the afterlife, and has often been called more of a movie about why people ''want'' there to be an afterlife.
