Private dectective Sam Blackman has agreed to help his partner and lover, Nakayla Robertson, conduct a fundraiser for orphaned twin boys. The charity event, a nighttime ghost tour of the haunted sites of Asheville, North Carolina, seems harmless enough. But a local legend is reenacted with deadly authenticity when the actress playing a ghost is killed. When a second murder mimics another old ghost tale, the police fear a macabre serial killer is on the prowl. But the case isn't Sam's to solve. Then a tidal wave of evidence begins to point to one man - Sam's friend, defense attorney Hewitt Donaldson. Sam and Nakayla, firmly believing in Donaldson's innocence, must not only prove it, but halt a murder seemingly bent on retribution. Does the killer's motivation rise from the present, or is Team Donaldson dealing with some specter from the past?
