Summary
Benjamin and Hannah Marris are the perfect American married couple – with the
typical problem teenage daughter, Samantha. In an attempt to
improve their relationship, Hannah takes Samantha away for a weekend
holiday. On the way, they are involved in an horrific road
accident and both end up in a coma. With Benjamin patiently
waiting by her hospital bed, Hannah regains consciousness and it looks
as though she will pull through. The doctors are more pessimistic
about Samantha, who is expected to die at any moment. But when
Hannah takes hold of her daughter’s hand, something fantastic
happens. It is Hannah who dies whilst Samantha recovers... or so
it seems. In fact Hannah’s spirit has passed into Samantha’s body
and now she must take the place of her own daughter...
