Susie reunites with the spirits of her boyfriend, Johnny and her grandfather in Johnny's car. Susie tells him that his life is just beginning and she is sure he can continue playing basketball for both her and his late father.
Zach follows her there and asks her what will happen to him now that she's leaving for heaven. With her mistake rectified, Susie returns to the bridge where she died. Thanks to Suzie providing Zach with her father's old playbook, the team wins. In the aftermath, the bankers give up and apologize to the Quinns, the Kovich family leave town in an attempt on Roger's part to avoid criminal prosecution and Zach returns to playing basketball in honor of his late father. After the police arrest Zach and Teri, Susie manages to save them by scaring the officer into letting them go free.įinally, Zach and Teri make it to the local news station just in time to provide their mother with all of the information about the Quinn family's history, which is broadcast on live television. It draws the attention of the police meanwhile Roger is warned and makes his own plans. Teri discovers that much of the town's land legally belongs to the Quinn family, and it becomes a fierce race to the finish as Zach locates the requisite title deed. Only then, Zach realizes how much Susie needs his help to find the deed and secure her family's legacy. She reveals to Zach that she is still earth-bound because of a mistake she had made in persuading her grandfather to rest, rather than help him find the deed that could have secured her family. Heading back home, Susie confesses that before she died, her grandfather was looking for the deed for Willow Valley.
However, this is only one part of a larger plan, led by Roger, that would eventually destroy the town. While visiting Susie's parents, Zach finds out they are facing homelessness at the hands of the local bank because of a missing title deed, and that the bank is demanding an unaffordable $25,000 balloon payment. She apologizes, but continues to cause trouble at school and home until Zach agrees to help. Susie begs Zach to help her find out what happened to her parents but, while doing so, causes a scene in Zach's class. Later Susie arrives at Zach's school, where he's distracted by the other girls in school - until Susie rips off part of the winter formal dress she's wearing to get his attention. That night, Susie visits Zach again, and proves to him that he is the only one who can see her. Eventually, Zach researches Susie and discovers that she died 40 years ago. While fishing with his younger sister Teri, Zach finds a bracelet that causes Susie's ghost to manifest before Zach. Now a student at the local high school, Zach befriends the drama group but also makes enemies of the envious Ray Kovich whose father, Roger, is a banker. Zach's father had died in a car accident on his way to Zach's basketball game - and Zach feels so guilty he abandons basketball. Forty years later, a teenager named Zach Sands moves into that very house with his widowed mother Penny who has a new job as a news reporter.
She and her boyfriend, Johnny Angel, are oblivious to the fact that an inebriated motorist would soon force their car into a waterway where they subsequently drown. In the fictional town of Willow Valley, Washington during the year 1955, teenager Susie Quinn prepares for her Winter Formal.
