Un dentista muere durante unos segundos durante una operación dental rutinaria. A partir de ese momento, tiene la habilidad de ver a gente muerta que le pide ayuda para contactar con los vivos.

Bertram Pincus is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen. That puts Pincus squarely in the middle of a triangle with spirited result.
