Years after the death of her husband, Anna (Nicole Kidman) is finally getting on with her life. Now engaged to be married again, she meets a ten year-old boy (Cameron Bright) who claims he is her late husband reincarnated. Though his story is both unsettling and absurd, Anna can't get the boy out of her mind. And much to the concern of her fiancée (Danny Huston), her increased contact with him leads her to question the choices she has made in her life.
