Although she vowed never to go back, nurse Siobhan McCormick returns home after two family members have died and her brotherās life is threatened. Her new job introduces her to accident victim Jared Pierce, a man whose casual charm tempts her with the same bad decisions she made in her past.
Haunted houses donāt sell, and Jared Pierceās family sends him from Louisiana to Illinois to make sure there arenāt any ghosts lingering in his great-auntās house. An accident on an icy road extends his visit from a few days to a few months.
Though the house is ghost-free when Jared arrives, a violent ice storm breaks apart a tree and releases the spirits of twin boys who were buried in the backyard. Temporarily disabled by his injuries, Jared needs his nurseās help to give the ghosts peace. Thereās only one problem. Siobhan doesnāt believe in ghosts. Will Jared earn her trust and affection or will Siobhan retreat into the safety of her job?
