A Norristown, in Pennsylvania, fra villette a schiera e campi di granturco, vive la famiglia Salmon. Susie, la primogenita, è un'adolescente qualunque, appassionata di fotografia e innamorata del compagno di scuola Ray Singh. Il 6 dicembre 1973, dopo aver avuto il suo primo incontro romantico con lui, Susie viene fermata sulla strada di casa dal vicino, il signor Harvey, tranquillo ometto di mezza età con la passione per le case di bambola. Dopo averla fatta entrare in un piccolo rifugio sotterraneo da lui stesso costruito, Harvey la violenta e la uccide brutalmente. Lo spirito di Susie si trova così a muoversi fra la terra e il cielo in una sorta di limbo fatto di ricordi e di fantasie, da dove può vedere e patire per quel che succede ai suoi cari e al suo omicida nel mondo mortale.
