Plot Summary
Elizabeth Masterson, a dedicated young San Francisco physician, is in a serious car crash. Three months later, recent widower David Abbott sublets Elizabeth’s apartment. Elizabeth begins appearing in the apartment, confusing both. Elizabeth believes David is a squatter, and he thinks she broke in. They soon realize Elizabeth can move through walls and objects. Elizabeth does not know who she is and insists she is not dead. David unsuccessfully tries to have Elizabeth’s spirit exorcised. As only he can see and hear her, others think he is hallucinating. Elizabeth asks him to help her discover who she really is, so David first talks to neighbours in the building but no one knows her.
David enlists help from psychic bookstore clerk Darryl, who says Elizabeth is not truly dead. He says David has a blocked heart and must emotionally release the woman who was in his life. When Elizabeth says he should get over being dumped, he storms out. Darryl, unable to see Elizabeth, tells her not to disrespect the dead. Elizabeth finds David and he explains about his wife’s death. At a nearby restaurant, Elizabeth talks David through saving a man’s life. Suddenly, she remembers being a doctor. They go to the nearest hospital where Elizabeth’s memories come flooding back. Dr. Fran Lo, Elizabeth’s mentor, takes him to Elizabeth, who is in a coma. When David touches her hand, Elizabeth feels it, meaning she is still connected to her body.
Elizabeth’s sister Abby arrives, and Dr. Brett Rushton – Elizabeth’s rival – notifies her that Elizabeth signed a DNR order. When he asks her to sign off on disconnecting Elizabeth’s life support, she considers it. David and Elizabeth bond. When he takes her to a beautiful landscaped garden he designed, she senses having been there before. In fact, she was dreaming of the garden, while catnapping during a long shift.
