The main characters of the
series are the psychic, Alison Mundy (played by Lesley Sharp)
and the academic who becomes involved with her due to his
sceptical interest in the paranormal, Dr Robert Bridge (Andrew
Lincoln). Set in Bristol, each of the six one-hour episodes of
the first series sees Alison become involved in the appearance
of a spirit and attempting to discover why it has come back to
haunt the living. Robert becomes involved in the first episode,
when Alison first moves to Bristol and her activities
inadvertently result in the suicide of one of his students.
Following this, Robert decides to study Alison for a book.
Alison's interest in Robert stems from her ability to see the
spirit of his young son, whom Robert cannot see. Throughout the
series a recurring theme is Alison's attempt to have Robert
fully come to terms with the death of his son so that the boy's
spirit can be eased and he can fully move on. In the first
series it is learnt that Alison was seriously injured in a train
crash several years before. The other survivors of the train
crash seek her out to contact their own lost loved ones in the
final episode of the first series, almost causing Alison's own
death. Later, in the second series, it is established that
Alison had these powers since she was little, the first 'ghost'
she saw was her grandfather.
During the second series, Robert is diagnosed with cancer. He
dies in the series finale, after having spent much of the series
helping Alison to overcome mental problems brought about by the
ghost of her mother. He also reconciles her with her father.
