Scrappy, worldly Kennedy Jenkins and soft-hearted Emma Keil barely know each other, but when life throws them each a curve ball, they're suddenly living together--in a rundown trailer park they've inherited from their late father, in a nowhere California town aptly called Ghost. After all, their neighbor, Madam Misty, is a soothsayer-witch, and Halloween is just around the corner.

A casino host, Kennedy is hiding out from a high roller who wrongly thinks she stole tens of thousands of dollars from him. Emma, a flat-broke advice columnist who can't take her own advice, has lost her apartment, and her on-again, off-again, commitment phobic boyfriend, Dex, is no help. Still, she's charmed by Ghost, its quirky residents--and the enigmatic guy who lives in trailer 510--while Kennedy is sure their father hid a fortune somewhere. She's determined to find it--even if it means turning to Madam Misty . . .

When Madam Misty grants them three wishes, they're clear: Kennedy wants money; Emma just wants Dex. But as the nights get chillier, and Halloween descends, a special kind of magic ensues--one that will reveal surprising truths about their father, themselves--and what they really want out of life . . .
