Kate Hudson stars as Caroline, a woman whose guilt over not
having helped her ailing father before he died, motivates her to become a
hospice nurse. Her most recent assignment takes her into the dark swamps of a
New Orleans parish where an elderly woman (Gina Rowlands) and her dying husband
(William Hurt) live. The man has had a stroke and is unable to speak, but
Caroline is convinced that he is trying to communicate with her and that he is
not really dying but has been placed under some sort of spell. Also with Peter
Sarsgaard, and Joy Bryant. Directed by Iain Softley. [1:44 - PG-13]
