The sole piece of missing person Marie Sallinger remaining is the ring finger, complete with ring, and when bride to be Anne Heche gets this ring for her engagement, it leads the spirit of Marie to her to resolve her story. Fiancée Billy Hytner is supportive of Heche's interest in the case, but his mother Kathleen Quinlan makes her disapproval known. It's not just the apron string refusing to let go, but dark secrets of the past coming out. Toss in Chris Sarandon, one time fiancee of the late Marie, living with the accusation of killing her and let go due to a lack of evidence. As the mystery becomes more complex, Heche begins to have even more bizarre visions, some quite horrific in nature as her ability to visit the past during her waking hours reveals the truth but puts her in danger.
Very compelling and nicely acted, this TV movie was much better than expected, showing a more serious side of the supernatural and never lacking in a speedy pace and frenetic photography that works for a change rather than annoying. Eva Longoria doesn't really get much to do as Heche's friend, while David Andrews is good as Quinlan's husband who may know more than he's telling. The always reliable Quinlan is chilling and Sarandon is superb, while Heche is quite likeable and Hytner supportive and romantic. Definitely one of the better supernatural TV thrillers, and lost in the mix of hundreds that come out each year, most of them forgettable.
