In Crestview, Colorado, homeowners are getting their houses in picture-perfect shape for the upcoming Historic Home Tour. Interior designer Erin Gilbert is hired to renovate Francine Findley's magnificent Victorian mansion. But from the very beginning of her job, things are totally out of control. A ghost sighting (Erin certainly does not believe those rumors about the Victorian being haunted...) leads to the discovery of a hidden dead space in the attic...and the scandalous death of a beautiful young woman!

Teamed with her intolerably self-assured competitor, Steve Sullivan, Erin finds herself up against the neighbors, an imaginative teen, a woman communing—supposedly—with the dead, and one very anxious client.
