Spirited

Uptight dentist Suzy Darling (Claudia Karvan) leaves her egotistical husband Steve (Rodger Corser) and moves her children Elvis (Louis Fowler) and Verity (Charlie Hancock) into a beautiful penthouse apartment to start a new life. She soon finds that the home is already occupied: by Henry (Matt King), a strangely attired British man who has lost his memory.

Suzy (Claudia Karvan) and Henry (Matt King) are still coming to terms with their new "living arrangements" when they learn that Henry was front man for legendary British punk rock band The Nerve. Desperate to learn who he was, how he died and just why he is here, Henry annoys Suzy at every chance and is soon wreaking havoc in her life.

Henry awakes on the rooftop of The Elysian apartment block, memories of past glories starting to flood back in his dreams. Feeling more alive than ever, he sees the opportunity to be reborn via the magic of the Internet and with Suzy's help contacts his loyal followers through a fan website.

Henry's existential angst continues to roar through his dreams and he wakes to find a shrine of sorts out the front of The Elysian: the call he sent out through the internet has been answered! Henry tries to convince a sceptical Suzy these fans should be encouraged when he catches sight of a bearded man in Suzy's dental surgery who drops lines that sound awfully familiar.

When Henry and Suzy meet in a dream in Manchester, 1982, new possibilities for their relationship unleash a previously unspoken sexual tension that is played out through a series of dreams and unexpected encounters. Nerve nerd Zac Hannigan continues his investigations into Henry's disappearance, focusing on the paternity of Suzy's son in the mistaken belief that Henry might be his father.

Suzy and Henry's new found intimacy is making Suzy nervous. But thankfully for Suzy - although 'thankfully' is possibly too kind a word - a major distraction comes looming when an odd, officious little man turns up and starts poking around the apartments asking questions about ex-residents.
