Mason Montgomery has had enough his own self-pity and the never-ending traffic of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
After selling up and moving to Savannah, sinking most of his money into a condemned Victorian home in a down and out part of town, an accident leaves him with a secret no doctor would ever be able to explain.
He can see ghosts. And one ghost in particular-Francis, an enigmatic presence lingering in Savannah's sultry nights-feels more real than anyone Mason has ever known. But as their love deepens, Mason must confront a heartbreaking truth: how can he hold onto someone who no longer belongs to this world?
A sweeping romance of fate, desire, and the undeniable pull between past and present, this unforgettable tale asks: What if the greatest love of your life wasn't alive at all?
