About the show
Narrated by Jim Dale, Pushing Daisies follows Ned (Lee Pace), a
young man with a very special gift. As a boy, Ned discovered that
he could return the dead briefly back to life with just one touch.
But his random gift isn't without deadly consequences, as he soon
finds out.
As a pie-shop owner, grown-up Ned puts his talent to good use by
touching dead fruit and making it ripe with everlasting flavour.
But his gift leaves him wary of becoming close to anyone, as
beautiful waitress Olive Snook (Kristin Chenoweth) finds out.
His life as a pie-maker gets more complicated when private
investigator Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) learns about Ned's
secret.
Emerson convinces the cash-strapped Ned to help him solve murder
cases (and collect the hefty reward fees) by raising the dead and
getting them to name their killers.
Then, Ned is handed the case that changes his life forever. His
childhood sweetheart, Charlotte "Chuck" Charles (Anna Friel), has
been murdered on a cruise ship under strange circumstances.
Her death leads him back to his hometown to bring Chuck back to
life, albeit briefly, and solve the crime. But once reunited with
Chuck, Ned can't bring himself to send her back. Life would be
perfect for the happy pair, except for one cruel twist - if he ever
touches her again, she'll go back to being dead, this time for
good.
