Spoilers ahead

Jeff Mathews, an American businessman, is involved in a car crash in Bangkok, Thailand. When he wakes up in a hospital, his nurse, Choi Luang informs him that his wife Som Mathews and son Kyle Matthews have died. Inexplicably, Mathews can feel no grief for his loss.

Disturbed by his lack of emotion and the unsettling sense that something is not right, he seeks help from Luang. She brings him to her psychic aunt, who tells him that his soul seems to have separated from his body. Although she cannot fix the problem herself, she refers him to Warren Mills, an American spiritualist with experience in reuniting separated souls.
