Declan Fitzgerald has a great job in Boston, but he hates it. He leaves his fiance and moves to New Orleans, where his best friend from college lives. He moves into an old house that has been calling to him, and he sets about restoring it.
The house is haunted, however, by the ghosts of a family that lived there before. Declan falls in love with a descendant of one of those ghosts, Lena, and she is reluctant to share her feelings for him. Declan romances her and won't take no for an answer, and Lena slowly comes to understand that she doesn't need to hide her heart from him. As Lena and Declan experience the ghosts, Lena comes to the realization that Declan is seeing and acting like Abigail, a murdered woman, and Lena's grandmother several times great. Lena herself represents Abigail's husband, Lucian. Together Declan and Lena must work to make their own relationship work so that the ghosts of the past can finally rest in piece. | ||
