Sarah Claysworth is a struggling Silicon Valley document review lawyer. She has no stability in her life as she bounces from project to project. Her finances are in disarray and she has no personal life to speak of. After Sarah has been fired from her latest document review project, she encounters Jack Shadelin – a ghost with a questionable history.

Years ago, Jack was unjustly accused of murdering the sheriff's wife Mabel Belford. In two days, it will be the sixty-fifth anniversary of Jack's death. Jack must find Mabel's killer before this date or he'll be forced to remain a ghost forever.

Jack convinces the inexperienced and wary Sarah to help him. Together, they venture on a path that just may liberate Jack and change Sarah's life forever.
