Here After

Robin, a mute piano prodigy, is critically injured in a bike crash while Claire rushes to the hospital. Claire finds Robin's bracelet dropped on the ground and prays in the hospital chapel. The doctors pronounce Robin dead, leaving Claire clinging to a fragile thread of hope.

Claire places the bracelet around Robin's wrist after the death pronouncement. In the hospital room, Robin's heart monitor flickers and she revives after being brain dead for about 20 minutes. She then begins to speak again after years of silence.

Robin begins speaking for the first time since she was five, signaling a remarkable recovery. But she soon exhibits troubling behavior at home and at school, including choking a classmate. The sudden changes culminate in her expulsion from school.

Claire starts seeing strange visions—insults appearing on papers turned in by her students—and her old forearm scar bleeds again. The visions blur the line between Robin's revival and something darker at work. Claire grows increasingly unsettled as the mystery deepens.

Claire seeks help from Father Sergio, hoping for guidance, but he only connects her with Luca. Luca takes Robin to live with his new family, separating Robin from Claire. The distance intensifies Claire's guilt and sense of responsibility.

Claire attends a support group for near-death survivors, where Dr. Ben Romano discusses whether the afterlife is light or dark. He suggests the afterlife can reflect repressed trauma rather than a fixed paradise or hell. Claire leaves unsettled, wondering what Robin's revival might mean.

A vision shows Robin seemingly attempting to drown Claire in a pool, and Claire is rescued by Viv, a friend. The frightening image reinforces the sense that Robin's arrival is tied to dark forces at work. The vision unsettles Claire further.

A traumatic memory surfaces: at age five, Claire drove away with Robin and Rose after an argument with Luca, swerved into water, and Rose drowned while Robin survived. The incident left Claire with a forearm scar and haunted her ever since. The memory links Robin's revival to a buried past.

Claire returns to Dr. Ben Romano and asks whether guilt and past sins can become demons. She wonders aloud if Rose's spirit might have been brought back through Robin's revival. The discussion deepens her sense of responsibility and fear.

Robin is brought to the hospital in a comatose state, her body showing signs of decomposition. Claire resolves to end her own life, planning to take pills and submerge herself in an ice bath. The darkness of despair tightens its grip on the family.

Claire's suicide attempt triggers a vivid near-death experience where she relives the car accident with her twin daughters. In the vision, she reunites with Rose and experiences forgiveness as two Claires embrace. Rose guides their hands toward the bracelet, then walks back toward the water in the hereafter.

Worried for Claire, Ben arrives with paramedics who revive her. Simultaneously, Robin begins to recover in the hospital, and the family begins to move forward. The crisis ends with a sense that life can resume, though the past remains a presence in their lives.
