Season 2
In the terrifying and emotional climax to the first season, Alison collapsed and nearly died during a seance in which she was inhabited by the spirit of Robert's dead son.
Now on the road to recovery, Alison has to accept that the spirits she has seen since she was a child will never leave her. Determined that her life should not be dictated by the dead, she wants to use her gift to help the living.
Robert meanwhile is in turmoil. Once a total sceptic, his beliefs have been shaken by what he witnessed at the seance and he now struggles to make sense of his life.
But Alison is jolted out of her new found security by a terrifying presence. For the first time in her life she is being haunted by a spirit from her own past, a ghost she must learn to confront if she is to hold onto her sanity.
