Suzy Darling finally leaves her husband and moves into a new apartment. During her first day she encounters a man who seems totally disconnected with the world. She discovers his name is Henry and no one but she can hear or see him.
Suzy works to unravel the mystery of Henry's disappearance and death. Her friends become concerned at her increasingly erratic behavior and organize an intervention on her behalf to try and correct her growing instability.
Suzy continues to struggle with the antics of her ex-husband. At the same time she finds herself strangely attracted to Henry, as he begins to open her world to different situations and sensations.
Henry's existential angst continues to roar through his dreams and he wakes to find a shrine of sorts out the front of The Elysian: the call he sent out through the internet has been answered.
When Henry and Suzy meet in a dream in Manchester, 1982, new possibilities for their relationship unleash an unspoken sexual tension that is played out through a series of dreams and unexpected encounters.
Suzy and Henry's new found intimacy is making Suzy nervous. But thankfully for Suz, a major distraction comes looming when an odd, officious little man turns up and starts poking around the apartments asking questions about ex-residents.
Suzy faces the unpalatable reality of life with a ghostly stepson, Apollo, who has transformed into a filthy mouthed, badly behaved, overgrown baby, quickly making The Elysian uninhabitable for the residents.
With Apollo vanquished, life returns to something like normality at the Darling-Mallet household, Henry accustomed to his role as invisible family member, while Suzy suffers strange symptoms of a mystery illness.
