A young woman loses her husband when she is pregnant with her first and only daughter; 22 years later, she still has not recovered from his death, and has never remarried, even though a close family friend has secretly been in love with her for years. Meanwhile, up in heaven, a young man has been given the soul of the woman's dead husband, and is reincarnated without receiving an injection of the "forgetting" serum that would have made him unaware of his old life. He ends up at Yale University where he starts dating the woman's now college-aged daughter (though he doesn't realize the connection yet). When the daughter takes her new beau home for a vacation, his memories come flooding back, causing complications as everyone tries to figure out her rightful relationship with this "young" man.
