Giving up the Ghost

Giving up the Ghost is a darkly comic exploration of life and death, seen through the eyes of a psychic medium, an evangelical exorcist, a rock-star zombie and the teenage girl caught between them.

Carrie Clairvoyant is an acclaimed psychic medium, who has never succeeded in raising a genuine spirit. This changes when Dean appears onstage during one of her public shows, claiming to have been reincarnated. When Carrie flees the stage to escape him, Dean takes up residence in her house, leaving Carrie with no option but to call on her estranged exorcist sister, Mary.

With all eyes on the crisis at hand, Mary and Carrie are initially oblivious to the attraction Dean holds for Mary's conflicted daughter, Jess. Will Jess leave her beliefs behind for a man who may well be the devil incarnate? Is there any point in Dean carrying on living when he's not truly alive? And will Mary and Carrie ever face up to the events that drove them apart twenty years earlier?
