Washed-up author Callaghan McCarthy has 99 problems, and believing in ghosts isn't one of them. The ghosts of Woodley, USA find this amusing, but they need her help with a problem of their own.
When she checks into Vale House, a bed and breakfast the internet claims is haunted, she hopes to find inspiration for a sequel to her once-popular ghost story. She quickly finds more inspiration than she bargained for, but any evil haunting Vale House does not emanate from its ghosts. As Cally comes to know and love the eccentric denizens of the run-down Southern town, she realizes she has wandered into the midst of a host of secrets nobody will talk about in front of people who are Not From Around Here.
While a disembodied internet entity, the ghost of a teenage Taino pirate, and a mysterious gentleman who is not quite human, himself, try to help her cope with her new reality, she begins to understand that saving Vale House and saving herself are one and the same.

In a small town with a big secret, anything can happen.
Even Love.
