On Halloween evening, 1926, Allison Cook and Harry Houdini die at the same time but in different parts of Michigan. Their earthly lives are interconnected by a doctor who treated Harry in Detroit and did the autopsy on Allison in Muskegon. Upon arriving on "the other side," Harry and Allison are given an assignment to work together and subtly assist in resolving Allison's murder. Tommy Bartlett, Allison's boyfriend, gets arrested for the crime, but there are some hidden circumstances that must be uncovered. The two spirits create ways to lead the doctor, his family, Tommy, and the quilters of Muskegon on a journey of justice and purpose.
