Storyline
| Plot Summary |
On a warm September evening, college professor Ethan Learner, his wife Grace, and their daughter Emma are attending a recital. Their 10-year-old son Josh is playing cello - beautifully, as usual. His younger sister looks up to him, and his parents are proud of their son. On the way home, they all stop at a gas station on Reservation Road. There, in one terrible instant, he is taken from them forever. On a warm September evening, law associate Dwight Arno and his 11-year-old son Lucas are attending a baseball game. Their favorite team, the Red Sox, is playing - and, hopefully, heading for the World Series. Dwight cherishes his time spent with Lucas. Driving his son back to his ex-wife, Lucas' mother Ruth Wheldon, Dwight heads towards his fateful encounter at Reservation Road. The accident happens so fast that Lucas is all but unaware, while Ethan - the only witness - is all too aware, as a panicked Dwight speeds away. The police are called, and an investigation begins. Haunted by the tragedy, both fathers react in unexpected ways, as do Grace and Emma. As a reckoning looms, the two fathers are forced to make the hardest choices of their lives.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Mark Ruffalo was originally cast in Signs (2002), but left the film prior to shooting due to the discovery of a brain tumor. Ruffalo dreamt he contracted the tumor during shooting of Signs, which provoked him to visit a doctor. The tumor was benign, but Ruffalo took nearly a year to recover and lost hearing in his left ear. Production of Signs moved forward, and Joaquin Phoenix took Ruffalo's spot. See more » |
| Goofs | At 1:21-1:22, when Ethan is in Luke's room and sees a picture of Luke and Dwight it is a horizontal picture. Yet when he picks it up, it is a vertical picture. There is only that one horizontal picture on the dresser. See more » |

| Quotes |
Grace Learner:
Mrs. Wheldon was wondering if you'd like to play in the school concert. Maybe practice with her after school. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Emma Learner: Can you hear music if you're in Heaven? Grace Learner: [pauses] Yes. Emma Learner: Okay, then. I'll do it. See more » |
