Overview

Synopsis

Do you believe in ghosts? Set in a suburban London house, 2:22: A Ghost Story follows two couples during a dinner party; hosts Jenny and Sam, and their guests Lauren and Ben. For four nights now, Jenny has heard strange sounds coming from her daughter’s bedroom; crying, whispering, stomping, and always at 2:22 in the morning. But no one else is home. Growing anxious with fear, Jenny claims the house to be haunted and, sparred by her husband's absolute skepticism, invites Lauren and Ben to stay. Together the four pass the night, discussing and dissecting every sound until the unbelievable happens. With a brilliant twist ending, 2:22: A Ghost Story leaves audience members on the edge of their seats asking themselves once again: do ghosts exist?
