After years of searching, Brian and Suzanne finally find their dream home. As they realise they share the space with a malevolent force, how much are they willing to put up with to stay there? Between being constantly outbid on dilapidated houses, and their odd roommate penchant for being naked, house hunting has not been easy for young couple Brian and Suzanne. After years of living in sub-par rented accommodation, they can't believe their luck when they finally find their dream home - and at a price that’s almost too good to be true. Elated, Suzanne and Brian move into their brand new, stunning, sea facing South Dublin apartment, but they soon discover that this idyllic spot isn’t quite what it seems. When objects start moving of their own accord, Brian begins to suspect Apartment 19 in the Seaview complex is haunted by a malevolent spirit. He even calls in spiritual assistance in the form of a white witch to attempt to “cleanse the space”. Suzanne, however, always the sceptic, barely hides the fact that she thinks he is being ridiculous. With tensions escalating between the couple, and as their living situation becomes borderline dangerous, Suzanne and Brian must face an impossible dilemma. How far will they have to go to keep their dream home? AWARDS:

The Grim Reaper wants to retire. We know how that goes: you have to meet the final deadlines and train your successor. We meet the Reaper in a white room, in front of him a wall of tube televisions flickering the disasters on planet Earth, his worn scythe leaning against his armchair. His successor stands behind him in a black suit, a tablet and a pole pruner in his hands, criticising the population growth of the last two hundred years and talking about inbound marketing. God also turns up, a young woman with a stick-on white beard who - to the Reaper's taste - has far too many stupid creation ideas such as platypuses, or psychoactive licking frogs. And then she threatens his work of death with one of her crazy ideas and he finds himself in the midst of a life and death crisis.
