Charlie (12) is devastated when his older brother Sam (15) unexpectedly dies, especially since they were never able to finish their homemade Harry Potter movie project. But one day Sam returns as a ghost, telling Charlie he’s only allowed to stay until they finish the movie. Elated, Charlie secretly plans to sabotage the project so that Sam can stay forever. Eventually, Sam catches on to Charlie’s plan and confronts him about it. In the end, Charlie must accept that he is capable of moving on, even without his brother’s help.
