And the story goes like this...

Bob works as a copywriter in an advertising agency where he is constantly heckled by his demanding boss, Ms Merlin (played by host/actress Nina Sharil Khan), gets bullied and made the butt of jokes by the receptionist and office queen, Anthony (played by stage actor Xavier Fong), and mercilessly used and played out by the manipulative office beauty, Brenda (played by stage actress and musician Ruzana Ibrahim). In short , Bob is a loser.

Until one day, Bob gets into a freak accident. He ends up being able to see dead souls in his reflections. Bob slowly learns to adapt to his ability and learns that he is a hero in his own way after all.

He is later befriended by Katie (played by Dira), the tomboyish and street-smart filmmaker, who joins his company. In their first attempt to get rid of Bob's first ghost, the duo gets to know Danny (played by Hansen), the boyish geek who invents contraptions he thinks can detect the supernatural. The unlikely trio ends up being good friends and goes on to have adventures of the supernatural kind. In their attempts to help out Bob's ghosts, they inadvertently get into numerous comic situations. An unknown hooded figure and cryptic notes make a recurring appearance every time Bob is on the job, adding to the mystery and suspense aspect of the series.

Catch Crossings - a brand new 13-episode dark comedy series - is set to air every Friday, 8.30 p.m, beginning 1st October 2010, on ntv7.
