As a ghost, Sam is invisible and unable to communicate with Molly directly. He watches helplessly as Molly mourns his death. Sam's frustration grows when he realizes that his murder was orchestrated by his close friend and business partner, Carl Bruner (Tony Goldwyn), who has shady dealings with a money launderer named Willie Lopez.
Desperate to warn and protect Molly, Sam discovers Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg), a fake psychic who can unexpectedly hear him. Initially skeptical, Oda Mae eventually believes Sam's presence and becomes his intermediary to communicate with Molly.
