A ghostly legend is brought back to life when Martha's brother, Bart, buys the old Ocean Born Mary house with his partner Auggie. It is a conflicted friendship. A woman named Teresa shows up, bearing a shocking resemblance to a picture of Mary's ghost. She deals herself in on the action, winning over Bart. Her presence, however, adds to Bart and Auggie's troubles. Martha grows suspicious of Bart and his business partners, believing it will lead to trouble. Bart gets in deeper than she could imagine and she needs her lover Sam Miller's help. Like their previous adventure in Schmuel's Journey, the two must outwit a killer to get at the truth.
