After surviving a near-fatal car crash, receiving a new heart, and moving four hours away from her family, Bree is starting over in the small town of West Plains, Missouri. On the night of her twenty-first birthday, her friends gather around her dorm to celebrate. They bring the normal party necessities: booze, junk food, and... a Ouija board? Painfully oblivious to what she's about to set in motion, Bree reaches out with the board, not knowing what to expect. She's in for the surprise of her life when she wakes up to find a spirit named Jake haunting her room. After trying and failing to banish him, Bree tries to brush off his existence and heads off to the lake for a vacation with her friends. There she meets Jason 'Jay' Bryson, a charming, intelligent, and lively man who bears a striking resemblance to Jake. As the summer stretches out before them, Bree finds herself falling for Jay - all while Jake is falling for her. But Jake's haunting voice is void of the answers she seeks and his vivid blue eyes hold a secret: He's not just there to woo someone he knows is completely out of his reach. He's there because Bree unknowingly made a costly mistake when she summoned him - a mistake everyone is about to pay for.
