Carly Middleton either has ghosts in her attic or bats in her
belfry, and neither option deems all that spectacular. She is apt
to choose her craziness however, rather than admit that her new
home in Lake Della, Wisconsin is haunted. But when hunky and
handsome Mike Valentine shows interest in Carly's paranormal
problem, hormones rule her head, and she agrees to have the house
investigated for ghosts. When the investigation proves her home
haunted, Carly calls in a psychic who discovers her housemates are
two sisters from the Civil War era who refuse to leave until they
get what they want; and what they want is a man, and that man is
Mike. Unwilling to sacrifice her boyfriend, Carly must find someone
else to seduce her dead house guests to the other side. When Hal
Davenport, the abusive town menace returns to Della, Carly finds
her candidate. But can she convince the ghosts that Hal is a better
catch than Mike? Can Hal lure the lingering ladies close to "the
light" without dying? As Carly contemplates her plan, her world
becomes further complicated by a sick dog, meddling parents and the
return of her ex-fiance. Finally, when Carly is certain she's sent
the ladies packing, something still seems amiss."
