When Andrew's agent visits him, she reminisces about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in Andrew's apartment. This prompts a séance to summon his ghost. From the moment Barrymore returns, Andrew's life is no longer his own. Barrymore presses Andrew to fulfill his actor's destiny.

It is a tribute to the enduring power of human connection and the impact of shared stories.
