Plot
Season One tells of Eza (Cheryl Samad), a witty journalist endeavouring to solve the mystery surrounding the death of her favourite film star, Zack Imran (Nazrudin Rahman). When Eza meets Zack leaving a hotel, lost and disoriented, her excitement soon turns to fear and confusion as she later discovers that Zack had earlier died, purportedly in a car accident. Realising that only she can see Zack's soul, she sets out with Zack's help to investigate his death. Over time, a bond between the living and the dead materialises.
In Season Two, Eza meets the ghost of a troubled teenager named Harum (Isma Hanum) while investigating the disappearance of Alicia Soo (Melissa Campbell), the socialite daughter of prominent attorney Edmund Soo (Colin Kirton). Edmund enlists the help of a psychic private investigator named Alam (Anding Indrawani) to trace Alicia. Meanwhile, a serial killer begins sending Eza photos of his murder victims, and a link between the murders, Alicia's disappearance, Harum's death and Zack Imran begins to surface.
