Logline Senior Constable Beatrice Bean must solve a murder while being haunted by her mischievous brother Jack, whose fractured memories reveal that her own life may be in danger.

Synopsis Bean Spirits is a darkly comic paranormal detective story about two misfit siblings bound by blood, chaos, and an unsolved crime.

Jack Bean is a fifty‑year‑old nuisance with a limp, a temper, and a love of setting traps for cult doorknockers. His younger sister, Beatrice, is a weary Senior Constable who has spent her life rescuing him — until a catastrophic car crash leaves Beatrice injured and Jack on life support.

In the aftermath, Beatrice begins to see and hear Jack’s spirit: an infuriating, amnesic ghost offering sibling annoyance, comic commentary, and cryptic fragments of the hours leading up to the crash. Assigned to a local murder investigation, she quickly discovers the case intersects with Jack’s final days.

The trail leads to Bobby Dean, a low‑level con artist with a toddler, a dream car, and a knack for manipulation. Before the crash, Bobby convinced Jack to help with a robbery, then abandoned him with the stolen cash — and caused the crash trying to get it back. Unbeknownst to her, Beatrice was the getaway driver.

Now, with her career on the line and Bobby desperate to silence her, Beatrice must untangle the truth, outwit a criminal, and decide what to do about the stolen money — and about Jack’s life support. But Jack’s spirit isn’t going anywhere until his little sister is safe.
