Hiernamaals tells the story of Sam, a hyperintelligent and hardworking 14-year-old girl who leads a happy life with her father and her two brothers in the south of the Netherlands. She is a good student, very strict with herself and she is always on time. She also takes care of her two younger brothers; since her mother Vera died, she’s felt responsible for the family and now she takes care of the household with her father. One morning — rushing to school to help her math teacher print exams — she is struck by a large truck and she dies. In the hereafter she finds her mother waiting for her. It's a strange feeling of both happiness and sadness. She discovers that there is a way back to life, but will she succeed in taking her mother with her?

Après avoir détruit sa voiture sur une route déserte au milieu de la forêt et avoir été retrouvé avec le sang et le téléphone portable de sa nièce, l'avocat pénaliste à succès Daniel Elias ne peut plus se rappeler qui il est mais doit trouver un moyen de prouver son innocence, même bien qu'il ne sache pas s'il est coupable ou non.
