在“来世”被科学证实存在的一年后，数以百万计的人希望结束生命以到达来世。此时一对男女坠入爱河，却要同时面对他们悲痛的过去和来世的真相。Writer-director Charlie McDowell returns to Sundance this year with a thriller about a scientist (played by Robert Redford) who uncovers scientific proof that there is indeed an afterlife. His son is portrayed by Jason Segel, who's not too sure about his father's "discovery", and Rooney Mara plays a mystery woman who has her own reasons for wanting to find out more about the afterlife.
