The film, which stars North West actors India Barnett, Geoff Baron, Frances Broudie-Oldridge and Anne Baron, follows the story of a reluctant children’s entertainer, Alice, who thinks her life has hit the bottom - until she accidentally kills her neighbour Thomas with her car and his ghost convinces her to hide his body. With the body decomposing, and the neighbours getting suspicious, they need a plan to keep Alice out of prison, and Thomas’ soul away from his nagging wife’s.

Preston based writer Susan Moffat, said, ‘Filmmaking is a collaborative process, and I’m really fortunate to have such a supportive team behind me to bring my vision to life. We had a great weekend shooting the first scenes in Fleetwood, and I can’t wait to get back on set again this week.’
