THIS MYSTERY HAS THEM IN A CHOKEHOLD...

Medium turned private investigator Claire Hendricks is excited to embark on her first official case.

Pro-wrestling manager Ken King is convinced that his late father, Eddie, is haunting the gym and show venue in Brighton. Ken hires Claire to help, unaware that her ghost best friend, Sophie, comes as part of the package.

But Eddie is adamant he did not die of natural causes, and tasks Claire and Sophie with bringing his killer to justice.

In the world of pro-wrestling, can they work out what's real, who's faking and unmask the killer once and for all?
