What if your kid woke up... as someone else's dead husband?
“After a near fatal accident on his seventh birthday, a boy awakens from his coma, only to claim to be the reincarnation of a man who died seven years ago. As the boy’s parents and the family of the deceased man wrestle with suspicion and grief, they are faced with two impossible alternatives – are they dealing with a genuine rebirth or a vengeful ghost?”

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Matt Cameron's 2009 Australian play, which leaned harder into the theatrical ambiguity—no cinematic relief from the staring contest of disbelief.
Teresa Palmer's character being unnamed in credits mirrors her erasure in the narrative—she's literally defined by her relationship to dead men.
