Best-selling
crime novelist Charles (Dan Stevens) is struggling with catastrophic
writer’s
block and a stressful deadline for his first screenplay.
His picture
perfect second wife Ruth (Isla Fisher) is doing her best to keep him
focused in
the hope of fulfilling her dream of heading to Hollywood. Charles’
desperate
search for inspiration leads him to invite Madame Arcati (Judi Dench)
a medium recently exposed as a fraud, to
perform a séance in their home.
They all get
more than they bargained for when Arcati accidentally summons the
spirit of his
deceased first wife: the fiery and jealous Elvira (Leslie Mann) who
embarks on a
mission to kill Charles so she can spend eternity with him which
leads to an
increasingly comical and deadly love triangle.
