A recently-bereaved woman revisits an old seaside haunt where she discovers a discarded phonograph in the attic. When she listens to the distant voices recorded on an old wax cylinder, it re-opens channels of communication with the past and to a family devastated by the Spanish flu of 1918.

Unwittingly her actions begin to reunite the family even after death – but are the ghosts real, or all in the mind? And if so, whose mind? In Leave Now, grief and electricity combine to allow two different worlds, past and present, to pass through each other, unnoticed yet profoundly changed.
