This film is about a psychiatrist named David Callaway, who moves to upstate New York with his daughter, Emily, following the suicide of her mother. While settling into their new home, Emily begins conversing with an imaginary friend named Charlie, while at the same time becoming close to a neighbouring couple who lost their own daughter to cancer.
