Synopsis: | The new girl at school has suddenly (and perhaps violently) disappeared. Six teenagers who knew her, at least a little, try to unpick how much each of them knows about the circumstances of her disappearance, and if any of them, ultimately, is culpable. If any of them was ever really close to her. Close is a dark and disturbingly funny examination of overwhelming and inexplicable guilt. | |||||

Synopsis: | When Angela Farnsworth is run over by a bakery van, Max is struck by some fairly existential questions. He decides that in order to get some answers the best person to ask would be Angela herself, since she has more experience than anyone he knows in what it's like to die. So, naturally, with the help of his sometime-Wiccan friend Sally, he summons Angela's spirit. They both get more than they bargain for, however, when their attempt to summon Angela is perhaps a little too successful. | |||||
