Gervais plays Dr. Bertram Pincus, a top dentist with appalling people skills. When Pincus 'dies' during a routine medical procedure, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he leaves the hospital to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), who pesters him into attempting to break up the impending re-marriage of his widow Gwen (Téa Leoni).

'I'm here, you know,' said Ricky during the opening credits of the special screening. The audience made sure to laugh at the right moments.
