The World of the Dead and the World of the Living... are About to Collide.

Cassie (Melissa Sagemiller) and her friends are all about to embark on their college careers and they spend a celebratory send-off night at a gothic rave club. However the partying comes to an abrupt end when Cassie's boyfriend Sean (Casey Affleck) catches her giving ex-boyfriend Matt (Wes Bentley) a reluctant goodbye kiss. Furious and hurt, Sean demands they leave the club and drive home but an argument ensues which ends in tragedy as Cassie crashes the car and Sean is killed.

Cassie tries to start a fresh life at college but she is pursued by Matt, who is determined to rekindle Cassie's interest in him, and Annabel (Eliza Dushku), who seems to want to lead her astray. Cassie's only solace is the support of Father Jude (Luke Wilson). But even the compassionate young priest is not what he seems. Haunted by memories of Sean and hallucinations about what actually happened the night of the accident, Cassie is left desperate and alone...
