SYNOPSIS
Rose (Maeve Higgins) is a sweet, lonely driving instructor with supernatural abilities called ‘The Talents’ that allow her to communicate with spirits. Rose has a love/hate relationship with her gifts and ignores the community’s requests to investigate bizarre happenings in town. When widower Martin (Barry Ward), haunted by his nagging ex-wife Bonnie, contacts her for help she has to at least consider the job. Meanwhile, aging rock star Christian Winter (Will Forte) has a sinister plan for success – virgin sacrifice. This hilarious must-see comedy is filled with twists, turns, hilarity, exorcisms and haunted wheelie bins.
