Forty-something magistrate Marley finds that her complicated life with an alcoholic husband and a workplace lover becomes even more complicated when her husband chokes to death on a chicken bone. Soon after, her lover is killed in a car accident, and the vicar who is driving the car dies of her injuries in hospital. She is puzzled and disturbed that she can see all their ghosts, and that they all move into her house, where only Marley can see or interact with them.[2] | ||||||
