Louise, an unfulfilled divorced woman with regrets, gets the chance to relive her past when she meets a young man who bears an uncanny resemblance, in name and appearance, to her high school sweetheart who died many years before.
Linney directs her scenes from within them, holding our attention and keeping the focus on her confusion, her pain and her hope.
