Spirit senser Ann Kinnear is juggling a long-distance relationship and continuing her search for a place to call home. She thinks she has found the solution to both when she learns that her favorite Chester County, Pennsylvania winery has a guest house for rent.
When the body of the terminally ill head of the winery is found on the grounds, Ann assumes that the torch will pass to the next generation ... but the terms of the will leave a sour taste in the mouth of some family members. Does that explain the patriarch’s daughter’s clandestine trips to a grand but derelict home in Philadelphia, tended by a mysterious man in Victorian garb? The woman's husband secretly asks Ann’s brother Mike to investigate.
Then a second body is found in a watery grave, and it seems that both deaths may have been murder.
Can Ann root out the evil or will her plan to move into the winery’s guest house bear deadly fruit?
