            Late one night at a summer camp, a young adolescent boy is tricked into being stripped naked by other boys, who leave him on an island in a lake. He soon discovers a cabin, in which he is surprised to find a girl his age from a nearby camp, who has also suffered the same prank.The boy and girl-- who are not named until much later-- briefly talk about how much they hate being ridiculed by the other camp kids, and decide they will not return to camp but rather set off on their own. First they swim off the island, then find another cabin where they finally don some ill-fitting clothes. (Their nudity on the first night and next morning is mentioned, but not exposed.) Meanwhile, the camp managers realize the duo have wandered off rather than sticking around to endure the indignity of past "goats" who have been similarly hazed.The boy and girl proceed to escape to another camp where they are surprised to be befriended by other kids their age, who do not expose them as refugees. Here they discover an unexpected unity among children, who in this place are kind and willing to talk about their own problems. One slightly older boy becomes attracted to the girl in a mean way, resulting in a revealing confrontation that gives the escaped kids more confidence.The duo move on to spend the night at a more comfortable motel, where they finally reveal their names-- Howie and Grace-- and share some awkward moments while expressing subtle affection. The next day, Grace calls her mother and says she wants Howie to come home with them since his parents are far away. As her mother later reveals, however, Howie is an orphan living in a foster home, leaving Grace quite conflicted about what to do.After an encounter with a rogue county deputy, and realizing that they can't live on their own in the woods, Howie and Grace reveal their location to her mother, who comes to find them. The main story closes, until later that fall when Grace is shown opening mail from Howie, who has sent her a series of poignant photographs that he had taken with a cheap camera during their time on the run.In voiceover, Grace says that Howie had since found adoptive parents, and that she is grateful for the time they had together. In the closing shot, Grace reads through the notebook that Howie had also kept during their time together, in which he very simply yet clearly indicates just how much he had grown to like her in those three days.

            After a horrific car accident, Anna Taylor (Christina Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified, and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn't believe she's dead, despite the funeral director's reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna's grief-stricken boyfriend Paul Coleman (Justin Long) still can't shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isn't what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over to the other side.However, her boyfriend Paul, who was about to propose to her in a restaurant date which went terribly wrong, as she thought he was leaving her for a promotion in Chicago, starts to have strange feelings that she is trying to communicate with him. He sits and the car wreck which now sits at the police impound. His friend who works at the police station. Anna's mother, Beatrice Taylor (Celia Weston), is a wheelchair-bound lady who, instead of feeling sorry for her daughter, just moans to her dead body about who is going to take care of her (the mother) now.Paul looks out of control. He tries to see Anna's corpse twice, and it's him who goes to pick up Anna's stuff from the school. There, Jack (Chandler Canterbury), a little boy who was bullied at school but was defended by Anna once against two boys (Jack Rovello & Sam Kressner) older than him, says that he saw Anna standing up wearing a red outfit. At the beginning, Paul punches him and is restrained by school staff, like a security guard and a teacher (Doan Ly). Jack arrives home and the only adult is an old lady (Rosemary Murphy) with white hair always in front of TV who may be also a dead person who Jack can see before having transitioned.Finally, two days pass by and Anna is prepared to be buried. She has been convinced by Eliot that she is dead and transitioning into the other world. She asks to look at herself for one last time, and he fetches a hand mirror. She breathes, and there is steam. That makes her realise that she is probably alive and is going to be buried alive. She tries to fight him off, but he injects onto her neck something which paralizes her. At the funeral, Paul and Jack feel that Anna has moved a little bit. Paul can't be sure until Eliot tells him that she is probably not alive anymore. Jack becomes Eliot's apprentice. Paul drives like crazy to save Anna. It's night, and he is driving on the other line at full speed. He has an accident but he is able to unbury Anna and save her. However, there is a blackout and he wakes up naked at the body, and Eliot and Jack are working in his body, preparing him for the funeral, all pretension of him being dead put aside.
