Somebody is out to kill Ambrose Lawson. As an ex-pop star and up-and-coming actor, he has it all: good looks, a burgeoning career, and plenty of female fans. But an incident involving electrics in the bath leaves him able to absorb emotions from those he touches, jeopardising his career and, worse, his sex life.

More concerned about his own problems, he only starts to pay attention to the bodies piling up around him when he stumbles across one himself. Terrified, he runs out into the road where a car hits him.The driver, Jenn Brooks, is his biggest fan. She's stuck in a dead-end job, dreaming of becoming a writer. Horrified at running over her idol, she helps him home, apologising and revealing she'd been distracted by a ghost turning up on her backseat – the ghost of the corpse he had just discovered.

Ambrose makes a deal. Jenn can write a script for him, as long as she helps him to touch again.Meanwhile, the murderer is closing in on him and those he's close to. When Ambrose realises who it is, he must face the demons in his past and become a better man.

(Story set in 2012, somewhere in London and the Westcountry)
