In Nina's case, this means dealing with the broken relationship she left behind on Earth her true love, Elliot, who she never got the chance to fully make amends with.
Nina is given a chance to return to Earth for a short period, but there’s a catch: she’s now a ghost, unable to physically interact with anyone, including Elliot.
