Why these tropes fit
Archaeologist Leslie MacIntyre returns to Manhattan's historic Hastings House, the site of the explosion that killed her fiance Matt, to investigate a newly discovered burial ground and confront her lingering trauma. After the blast, she gained the unsettling ability to communicate with ghosts, and Matt now visits her in dreams to warn her of danger and share clues about a modern conspiracy targeting the city's women. By day, she is drawn to Matt's living cousin Joe, who aids her investigation, leaving her torn between her feelings for the two men. As she uncovers the dark secrets at the heart of Hastings House, she must face a deadly antagonist alone, with no one able to shield her from the encroaching threat.
