Movie Description When four nice people die the night a boy is born, they become guardian angel-like ghosts visible only to the boy. When it seems they are interfering with his life they withdraw, but when he needs their help as an adult they come back to help him -- and maybe he can help them fulfill their own unfulfilled lives.
