Here’s a look at Sophia Bush, Ricky Champ, Clifford Samuel and Jaime Winston in 2:22: – A Ghost Story.
Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and her new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again? Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they are going to stay up… until 2.22am… and then they will know.
Produced by Runaway Entertainment, Bush stars as Lauren, Champ as Ben, Samuel as Sam and Winstone as Jenny.
