action
The half-orphan Nick Powell is one of the best students in his school. He's smart and handsome. His mother is incredibly proud of her son, but her plans for his future cross with his desire to become a writer. So it happens that Nick plans a trip to London without his mother's knowledge in order to begin studying literature and starting a career as a writer after graduating from school. He already has the plane ticket. In addition, he saved the money that he made by doing homework for his classmates. The evening before his departure, however, his mother found out about Nick's plans through a phone call from the airline. Nick's mother tracks down the ticket in his room and confronts him. Nick leaves the house furious and pours alcohol into his grief at a party. Nick now changes his mind and gives the plane ticket to a classmate.
Shortly beforehand, her classmate Annie, who came from a torn household, was released from custody. She was arrested and interrogated for breaking into a jewelry store. She suspects that her act was betrayed to the police by Pete, a good friend of Nick's. Threatened by Annie and her gang, the completely ignorant and innocent Pete, out of fear and in the sure belief that Nick was already on the plane to London, gives his friend Nick off as a traitor in the hope that the perpetrators would abandon him. With Pete in tow, they track down the completely drunk Nick, who is walking on the street on the way back from the party, pursues him into the forest and beat him there. After Nick provoked Annie, she kicked him in the head. When Nick stops moving and apparently no longer breathing, the gang assumes that Annie beat him to death. The youngsters then hide the supposed corpse in a shaft in the forest.
The next day Nick goes to school like everyone else and takes a seat at his table. When neither the teacher nor the student notice him and even talk about him as if he were not there, Nick initially feels ridiculed. However, he has to find that in fact no one can hear or see him, so that he thinks himself dead and a ghost. From now on he spends time - invisible to humans - by the side of his mother, the investigating police officers and the perpetrators. He gets to know Annie's background: a run-down father and ex-police officer and a stepmother who only half-heartedly takes care of her and her little brother Victor. He is now beginning to understand Annie's actions based on her life story. A key experience with a bird that flies into a window and whose spirit stays by Nick's side before the bird finally dies shortly afterwards leads him to the realization that he is in the same situation as the bird shortly before his death and that his Body is still alive. In the meantime, the police found traces of the missing Nick through a search operation in the forest, but not his body. However, it is only a matter of time before the police find them.
When Annie meets the police, when Nick is also present as a ghost, Nick discovers that Annie can hear his voice. He moves her to show the police the location of his body. A race against time begins as Nick's body weakens and threatens to die. Annie had told her ex-boyfriend Marcus about the crime shortly after the crime. Since he is currently on parole and does not want to be dragged into the act of the alleged death of Nick, he forces Pete, without Annie's knowledge, to show him the hiding place of the body in order to finally disappear in a safer place so that the police don't find him after all.
During a conversation between Annie and Pete, it turns out that it was not Nick or Pete who originally betrayed her about the break-in at the jewelry store, but that Annie's ex-boyfriend had betrayed her to the police to get rid of her. Shortly thereafter, Annie manages to squeeze out the new hiding place of Nick's body with drawn gun. Then Marcus also draws a gun and both shoot at each other. Annie can still call the police to tell the police the location of Nick's body. The police can recover the body in time and treat it medically. But Nick is in a coma and only Annie herself can help him regain consciousness. She sneaks into the hospital bleeding profusely, lies down on the bed with him and talks to him. He wakes up in time before she succumbs to the gunshot wound she inflicted on Marcus. Nick recovers and continues to remember Annie and his experiences as a ghost. He visits her little brother Victor, apparently to keep an eye on him in the future.

Reviews
"Ambitious supernatural thriller, which for a long time defends itself against genre conventions and deals with its subject in a more theatrical manner, but ultimately silts up in an inner illogic and a banal love and redemption story."
