The story begins with a New York City postal worker who suffers flashbacks of his tour in Vietnam, his first marriage, and his deceased son. He believes the hallucinations are a result of a drug tested on him and his old army unit. With the help of his new wife, he attempts to determine what is real and what is a delusion. The tale ends with one of cinema's most potent twists.
Screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin won the 1991 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay as well as BAFTA and WGA nominations for Best Original Screenplay.

In his ghostly state, he learns that he was the victim of foul play. When he tries to warn his grieving girlfriend that she is also in danger, a con-artist/psychic turns out to be the only one who can convey his messages.
