Barbara en Adam Maitlin zijn betrokken bij een zwaar auto-ongeval. Wanneer ze thuiskomen beseffen ze dat ze eigenlijk niet meer leven. Hun huis wordt verkocht en de nieuwe eigenaars willen het omtoveren tot een excentriek gebouw. De Maitlins hebben het hier zeer moeilijk mee en beseffen dat ze de nieuwe eigenaars als spoken angst kunnen aanjagen. Maar al vlug dringt het tot hen door dat het leven na de dood niet zo eenvoudig is. Wanneer ze willen spoken, zullen ze eerst moeten leren hoe dat werkt.
