Nick Murphy on set of A Christmas Carol
In post-World War I England, an author and paranormal skeptic (Hall) is invited to a countryside boarding school by the head master (West) to investigate rumors of an apparent haunting. But just when she thinks she has debunked the ghost theory, she has a chilling encounter which makes her question all her rational beliefs.

Nick Murphy is a BAFTA winning and Royal Television Society Award winning director and writer. He was born and grew up in Merseyside, NW England. A former editor of news and current affairs for the BBC, he began directing documentaries in 1996. A decade later he moved into writing and directing dramas, receiving multiple awards and nominations both at home and abroad. He thinks rudeness and abusive behaviour is too tolerated in the industry. Being horrible to work colleagues is not justified simply because one makes good or lucrative movies.
