Twelve-year-old Molly was riding her new bicycle on a deserted road when a man in a truck pulled up next to her, saying he was lost. He asked if she could get in and help him back to the highway, and said he could bring her back to her bike after. The next things Molly remembers are dirt, branches, trees, pain, and darkness.
Molly is now a spirit. Mustering up some courage, she pieces together her short life for herself and her family while she re-assembles her bicycle—the same one that was found thrown into the trees on the side of the road.
Juxtaposed with flashes of news, sounds, and videos, Molly’s chilling tale becomes more and more vivid, challenging humanity to not forget her presence and importance.

“In Spirit, though perfectly straightforward, packs a cumulative emotional wallop, asking viewers simply to care about the loss of a precious life.” —Jon Kaplan, NOW Magazine
