Summary: Dr. Joe Darrow (Kevin Costner) suddenly loses his wife Emily and immerses himself in his work without taking time to grieve.  He can't get his wife out of his mind and starts to hear and see things which confuses him because he feels like his wife, who died during a bad rainstorm, is trying to send a message to him.  Joe can't explain some of the supernatural encounters and impossible coincidences.  Is he out of his mind?  Or is his wife's spirit trying to summon him.  Dragonfly is full of surprises that kept me guessing throughout the movie as to what happened to Emily and what the messages implied.

Special Features: thrilling deleted scenes, the making of Dragonfly, best-selling author Betty Eadie on her near death experience, commentary with director Tom Shadyac, theatrical trailer, cast and filmmakers bios, and production notes
