Before his car was hit by a drunk driver on a rainy night, Charlie St. Cloud (Zak Efron) had everything to look forward to, including a sailing scholarship to Stanford University. But when his kid brother, Sam (newcomer Charlie Tahan), dies in that automobile accident, grieving Charlie is riddled with guilt. Paramedic Florio Ferrente (Ray Liotta) notes that Charlie's heartbeat went flat but then resumed normally, meaning Charlie's been given a second chance at life. For five years afterward, Charlie seeks redemption by playing catch with Sam's ghost, promising to be with the Boston Red Sox-loving eleven year-old every day at sunset - the same time in the same place. To that end, Charlie takes the job of caretaker, living in the cemetery where Sam is buried, much to the chagrin of his hard-working single mother (Kim Basinger) and his high-school classmate, Tess Carroll (Amanda Crew), who yearns for him to return to the land of the living: "God has a plan for you."
