Date : 2004


Two brothers, Charlie and Sam decide to go to watch a baseball game. They "borrow" their neighbor's car. Charlie decides to chase the moon to let Sam have a good time. On the way there they cannot decide which CD to listen to. Sam is killed. Thirteen years later, Charlie has grown up and is working at the Marblehead cemetery. Every evening at dusk he goes to a nearby forest where he plays with Sam. Charlie has the gift of seeing ghosts. This serves him well as an undertaker, as he can talk with the deceased.
In the town lives Tess Carroll, a yachtswoman who wants to make a round the world trip. A week prior to her departure, she directs her yacht in to a storm to test it, but in an accident, Tess and the yacht are lost. Tess appears at the cemetery. She meets Charlie and they go on a date. The next day Tess realizes that people ignore her. The proof that something is wrong comes when she cannot see her reflection in water. What is more, she can see Sam St. Cloud, the boy who died 13 years ago.
Charlie is shocked at the thought that Tess could be dead. In the meantime everyone in the town in possession of a boat, including Charlie, explores the bay in order to look for Tess's body. He has to admit that he hasn't seen the real Tess, only her spirit.
Everyone gives up the search, but then Charlie feels that there is one place he has to go. With Sam's help he finds Tess's body. Tess is transported to a hospital where the doctors stabilize her in a deep coma.
A few months later, Charlie decides to quit his job and move on. During his last visit at the hospital Tess wakes up. After talking to him for a while she begins to recollect her memories as a ghost.
