Ned is a pie-maker who has the ability to bring dead things back to life with one touch. If he touches a second time something he has resurrected, it dies permanently, and if he allows anything he has resurrected to live for more than a minute, something else dies in consequence.

Ned frequently teams up with Emerson Cod, a private detective, to solve crimes by briefly resurrecting murder victims briefly in order to learn about how they died.

During one such investigation, he brings back his childhood sweetheart, Chuck, and cannot bring himself to kill her again. Because she has been officially declared dead, she has to adjust to a new life icognito, and moves in with Ned, inserting herself into Ned and Emerson's investigations (beginning with their combined attempt to solve her own murder).

The tentative romantic feelings between Ned and Chuck are hindered by the condition that if they should ever touch, it would kill her instantly. And there is also the fact, which Ned has kept a secret, that his temporary (but longer-than-a-minute) resurrection of his mother during his childhood was the cause of Chuck's father's death.

== Notes ==
The series lead actor, Lee Pace, played Jaye's brother on ''[[Wonderfalls]]'', a series which Bryan Fuller co-created that also featured a lead character with an unusual gift. However, unlike the inanimate objects that talked to Jaye, Ned's gift does not inherently place his sanity into question.
