Ben (Jonny Sweet) has got a new job as the sobriety coach for 'troubled' film star James McCann (Craig Parkinson). All he has to do is help James learn his lines, maybe play a little ping pong and keep him clean and sober. And ideally discourage him from having an affair with his leading lady Emily Tennison (Susan Lynch). Dead To The World is a dark comedy about three broken individuals trying to be better people, fight their basest instincts and hold on to their jobs.
