According to Deadline.com, Lydia will play the deceased wife of Nicholas’ character Joe, who, along with their deceased child, haunts the memories of the down-on-his-luck truck driver.
‘Between Worlds’ follows the story of Joe after he meets a spiritually gifted woman named Julie who enlists Joe in a desperate effort to find the lost soul of her comatose daughter, Billie.
