Description

Following in our fathers’ footsteps isn’t necessarily what we all want to do with out lives, no matter how close the apple has fallen from the tree. Now imagine if your father was the preeminent ghost hunter in all of Ireland who also had a hit TV show, AND you’re sorta responsible for his death? That’s the premise of this delightfully quirky comedy (think Wes Anderson meets Wes Craven) about a woman (Irish comedian Maeve Higgins) who is trying her best to ignore her innate talents—and the ghosts who are constantly vying for her attention. She instead works as a lonely driving instructor, until a desperate man comes to her for help convincing his recently deceased wife to move on. Only the plans of a conniving one-hit-wonder New Age musician shacked up in a haunted castle (played by SNL’s Will Forte) can stop them from bringing peace to the spirit world and themselves.
