Be Right Back (2022): Cast & Plot

A young couple, Martha Powell and Ash Starmer, move to a remote countryside house that carries the weight of Ash’s family history. The day after they settle in, Ash is killed while returning a hired van, leaving Martha to face a void that grows larger with each passing moment. At his funeral, Martha’s friend Sarah mentions an online service that helped her through a similar loss, and though she pushes back, Sarah’s persistence eventually leads Martha to sign up. What begins as a sedate attempt at connection quickly spirals into something more unsettling: the service builds a near perfect digital echo of Ash by mining his entire online presence—messages, videos, and social media—creating a virtual version that can converse with Martha almost as if he were still there.
