- Summary:
- Fifteen years ago Eddie, an amusement park mechanic, died saving the life of a young girl named Annie. The accident took Annie's left hand, which needed to be surgically reattached. Scarred, and unable to remember why, Annie was whisked away from the world she knew by her guilt-ravaged mother. As a young woman Annie reconnects with Paulo, her childhood love, and believes she has finally found happiness. When their wedding night ends in an unimaginable accident, Annie finds herself on her own heavenly journey -- and an inevitable reunion with Eddie, one of the five people who will show her how her life mattered in ways she could not have fathomed.
