WHAT'S IT ABOUT: Death touches the living in strange ways. No one knows that better than someone who's seen it from close quarters and lived to tell the tale. Ask French TV journalist Marie Lelay (De France) who goes under during the tsunami but finds herself saved by unknown locals. The near-death experience gets her thinking about the afterlife. Does it exist? What can one expect? The search for answers to her questions lead her to lose her cushy job, the man she loves (or thinks she does) and the posters of her plastered all over Paris. What she gains is an insight into a world few people attempt to understand. 
Then there's the psychic who threw it all away so he could live a normal life. George Lonegan (Damon) is incredibly good at communicating with the dead and acting as a medium for grieving relatives. Except he treats the ability to do so as a curse rather than a gift.u00a0 His elder brother, Billy (Mohr) seems to strongly disagree. He thinks his brother sees a closed door where he sees a window of great opportunity. Only George knows, when people get curious and go looking, there's no telling what you'll find.
Lastly, there's the London boy Marcus who lost his best friend, his twin brother Jason (both roles played by the McLaren brothers) in a freak accident. He tries looking for ways to get through to his dead bro but to no avail.
Marcus finds his answers with George, who finds someone to love in Marie, who finds in George a man who knows exactly what it is to experience what she does.
