Malcom Crowe is a child psychologist who receives an award on the same
night that he is visited by a very unhappy ex-patient. After this encounter,
Crowe takes on the task of curing a young boy with the same ills as the ex-
patient. This boy "sees dead people". Crowe spends a lot of time with the
boy (Cole) much to the dismay of his wife. Cole's mom is at her wit's end
with what to do about her son's increasing problems. Crowe is the boy's
only hope.
