Those Who Live Beside Us, Episode One: The Thinnest of Air

Synopsis

When I used to walk back through the churchyard at night, my Granny would say to me. “Don’t worry about the dead, they can’t hurt you. It’s the living that you want to watch out for.”
She was right.

This series follows the story of Rosetta Stone, a second-year undergraduate student studying at Matchesford University, England. Rosetta moves in with two housemates who delight in dragging her down at every opportunity. She wishes they would just leave her alone and soon discovers her wish is about to come true.

After being involved in an accident with a cyclist, Rosetta misses her chance to attend a crucial university trip. Her new semester is not going to plan and she believes she has failed herself once again. That is, until the news of a missing university bus comes through. The bus she was meant to be on. The bus containing her dreadful housemates and friends.

Joined by a few others who failed to make the trip, Rosetta works to solve the mystery of the students’ disappearance. Along the way, they uncover a secret buried within the surrounding countryside – a story of a missing signalman and a train crash from the mid 1800 s.

Meanwhile Rosetta can only add to her problems, she has started seeing things that should not be there and it is all linked to a group of locals, who call themselves ‘The Forgotten,’ claiming to be the victims of the train crash from almost 200 years ago.

Combining the tension of a supernatural British drama with a diverse cast of university students, ‘Those Who Live Beside Us,’ delves into the relationships we form with those who hold space next to us on the earth, and those who lurk in the shadows behind. History is about to repeat itself.
