About

Months after Alison and Mike leave Button House, its ghosts seek a way to contact them when teenagers hold a seance at the house.

Months after Alison Cooper (Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike moved away from Button House, the ghosts who live there are adjusting to life without them. Construction on a planned golf course has been abandoned, and their main excitement comes from postcards sent by Alison and Mike. When protesters disrupt work on a planned hotel, the ghosts wish they could contact Alison for help.

Their chance comes when a group of teenagers arrives at night to hold a seance. Sammy, one of the teenagers, has experience with ghosts because her grandmother was a medium, and Jack, another of the group, invites one of the ghosts to communicate through him. Among the residents are Julian Fawcett (Simon Farnaby), Pat Butcher (Jim Howick), the Captain (Ben Willbond), Fanny Button (Martha Howe-Douglas), Kitty Higham (Lolly Adefope) and Thomas Thorne (Mathew Baynton).
