Synopsis

Benjamin and Hannah are a model couple who've been bound together for many years by a deep, strong love. They have a 16-year-old daughter, Samantha.
Concerned by the teenage crisis Samantha is going through, Hannah decides to take her daughter away for a few days so that they can be alone together. But while driving to their destination, the car misses a curve and crashes off the road. Benjamin must confront unbearable news: his wife and his daughter are both in a deep coma. Hannah only gains consciousness for a few moments, in which she holds her daughter's hand one last time. As Samantha at finally last opens her eyes, her mother dies.
Torn between the pain of losing his wife and the joy of having his daughter back, Benjamin soon notices that Hannah's ghost seems to have taken hold of Samantha's body…
