’A modern day\u00a0Truly Madly Deeply<\/em>… Rasmus and Roisin both lose their partners, but the ghosts of Nico and Jay stay, unable to leave their loved ones alone as the broken-hearted pair find comfort in each other.

Rasmus and Jay, Roisin and Nico – two beautiful, ordinary love stories, cut short by death. Jay and Nico don’t even believe in ghosts, yet they seem to be…\u00a0still here<\/em>. Still in love with Rasmus and Roisin. And maddeningly powerless.<\/p>\n

Both are incapable of leaving the living alone: Jay plays matchmaker, convinced that Rasmus and Roisin can heal each other; Nico, plagued by jealousy, doesn’t agree.<\/p>\n

Rasmus and Roisin are just trying to navigate their newly widowed lives.<\/p>\n

But all four of them are thinking the same thing: what is love, after death? What is it for? And what are we to\u00a0do<\/em>\u00a0with it?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
