Angela is obsessed with death. This powerful fixation has driven her to pursue a ruthless career as the CEO of one of the world's largest biotech and pharmaceutical empires and she diverts much of her organisation's research budget towards finding a cure for ageing.

To secure her legacy Angela creates a prize fund for scientists working on improving human longevity. In doing so she sets the human race on a path towards unlocking the cure to ageing. But Angela didn't imagine the impact a cure for ageing would have on the population and she failed to ask what the world would look like if we discovered the secret to eternal life?

Ghosts in the Machine explores the human conditions of death and ageing, and in doing so responds to a terrifying thought – what happens if we actually find a way of living forever?
