In Limbo on ABC – Exploring universal themes of friendship, love and grief, In Limbo is the story of best friends Charlie (Ryan Corr) and Nate (Bob Morley) as they’re faced with how hard it is to let go of those we love – especially when they’re taken too soon. And when they come back to haunt you. Literally.
Just before Christmas, Charlie is helping his best friend Nate build a cubby house for Nate’s daughter, Annabel (Kamillia Rihani). Nate’s wife Freya (Emma Harvie) zooms in from London with a surprise blind date for Charlie, who is 12 months separated from his wife.
After the date, Charlie is on top of the world when he returns to Nate’s house later that night. But his world comes crashing down when he opens the front door and discovers Nate’s body.
Charlie decides he needs to step up to help those left behind, in particular Freya and 8-year-old Annabel, and he sets about finishing the cubby house.
When Freya arrives home early from London it’s left to Charlie to deliver the devastating news that Nate has gone. Later that night Charlie confronts an intruder in the cubby house. He braces for a confrontation but is shocked to discover the intruder is Nate – he’s back, in ghost form.
Charlie thinks he’s going crazy, but Nate assures Charlie it isn’t a drunken hallucination, he is real and he’s here to stay. Nate says he has been trapped in limbo until he puts something right in the world of the living. He begs Charlie to help.
