Upon moving in, Alex starts experiencing inexplicable phenomena – objects moving on their own, eerie whispers in the halls, and flickering lights. Initially dismissive, Alex's skepticism turns to shock when Jake, dressed in his vintage 1920s attire, materializes before them. Jake, realizing he's been dead for years, is both astonished and frustrated at his spectral existence.
As Alex reluctantly begins communicating with Jake through seances and spirit boards, a reluctant cohabitation ensues. Jake, initially sullen and withdrawn, lashes out with poltergeist antics – rearranging furniture, creating spectral illusions, and even scaring away visitors and contractors hired to renovate the mansion.
Alex, tired and constantly drained by Jake's chaotic energy, attempts to maintain composure while navigating their medium duties and managing the demanding mansion renovations. Despite Alex's efforts to reason with Jake and help him resolve his afterlife crisis, Jake becomes increasingly erratic and defiant.
Through late-night conversations and unexpected heart-to-hearts, Alex uncovers the source of Jake's unrest – unresolved regrets and a deep-seated longing for closure. Jake's initial sulking gives way to genuine introspection and self-discovery, leading to poignant revelations about his past life and untimely demise.
As Jake works through his afterlife crisis with Alex's patient guidance, the dynamics between the medium and the ghost gradually shift from hostility to camaraderie. Alex, despite their exhaustion, finds solace in helping Jake find peace and closure.
In a climactic moment, Jake confronts his fears and embraces acceptance, bidding farewell to Eldridge Manor and crossing over to the next realm. The mansion, now quiet and serene, becomes a sanctuary where Alex can continue their mediumship practice in peace.
