Plot

Twins Olivia and Matt, are as close as they are different. Olivia strives for excellence, something that her father seems to expect of her on her more than her fraternity-destined brother. Yet, despite the fact that Matt seemingly has it "easy," he's also the one who looks out for Liv. And while their relationship isn't perfect, it is one that Liv can count on. But after arguing with Liv about her decision to get drunk and hook up with their mutual friend Julian at a Halloween party, Matt crashes the car they are in, and dies.
Olivia, unable to carry the guilt she feels alone, begins to see Matt — or some hostile version of him — in moments she might need him most. Matt tells her what to do, what to say, what to think — and, specifically, when not to eat.
After a suicide attempt at a party her parents hosted, Liv is sent to an Eating Disorder Inpatient Treatment Center. Even there, her brother torments her by forcing her to lie to the therapists or forcing her to save food for him. During a therapy session, Olivia finally talks to her therapist how she's really been feeling which causes the ghost of Matt to go into a rage, screaming at her about how he hates her and never loved her. After talking to him, it's she's let go of this version of Matt and recognized that the voice that it telling her to control her eating isn't that of her brother.
