Pushing Daisies is a quirky TV show about a pie maker called Ned, played by Lee Pace, who can bring dead people back to life by touching them -- but it has a price.
Ned uses his ability to solve murders with private detective Emerson Cod. He brings his childhood sweetheart Charlotte "Chuck" Charles (Anna Friel) back to life, but the conditions of his power mean that, from that moment on, they will never be able to touch again.
Fanworks often center around this predicament and find creative ways for the characters to have (sexual) contact.
