In a house he is restoring, builder Don Lark meets a woman squatter who turns out to be a ghost. But Sylvie Delaney does not realize she is a ghost, thinking she is alive. Lark learns she was murdered and goes searching for the killer. As he sinks his teeth into his new project, Lark's new neighborhood starts to work its charms on him. He strikes up a romance with the real estate agent who sold him the house. His neighbors, two charming, chatty old ladies, ply him endlessly with delicious Southern cooking. Even Sylvie, the squatter Lark was once desperate to evict from the old house, is now growing on him. But when Lark unearths an old tunnel in the cellar, the house's enchantments start to turn ominous.
