Although she vowed never to go back, nurse Siobhan McCormick returns home after two family members have died and her brother's life is threatened. Her new job introduces her to accident victim Jared Pierce, a man whose casual charm tempts her with the same bad decisions she made in high school. Haunted houses don't sell, and Jared Pierce's family sends him from Louisiana to Illinois to make sure there aren't any ghosts lingering in his great-aunt's house. An accident on an icy road extends his visit from a few days to a few months. Though the house is ghost-free when Jared arrives, a violent ice storm breaks apart a tree and releases the spirits of twin boys who were buried in the backyard. Temporarily disabled by his injuries, Jared needs his nurse's help to give the ghosts peace. There's only one problem. Siobhan doesn't believe in ghosts. Will Jared earn her trust and affection or will Siobhan retreat into the safety of her job?
