This movie is about what happens when fate steps in to mix things up. A widower named Bob Rueland (David Duchovny) meets and falls in love with a waitress, Grace Briggs (Minne Driver) at the local Italian resturant, O'Reilly's. This is a heart felt romance between two people who fate placed in one another's paths all due to a tragic car accident and a heart transplant. Return to Me is filled with laughter, tears, and show that even destiny can not break the bonds of love.

Bob must try to cope with the death of his wife. Grace had a heart transplant right after Bob's wife was killed in a car accident. When Bob and Grace meet one year after the accident, they are immediately attracted to each other. This movie is full of comedy, but it's a little sad at times, too.

At the beginning of the movie, David Duchovney's wife is killed in a car accident. Across town, Minnie Driver is in desperate need of a heart transplant. She gets David Duchovny's wife's heart and more than a year later, without realising this connection, they meet and fall in love. The plot sounds very schmaltzy, but Bonnie Hunt makes it work by keeping all of the characters thoroughly likable illiciting winning performances from the entire cast.
