After his wife loses three pregnancies, Dr. Marc St. Clair turns the haunted storage room at Calico Acres into a private lab to investigate why the embryos failed to survive, and in the process he meets the ghost of a distant cousin who had Down Syndrome. Meredith St. Clair died at 8 years, but she's well acquainted with magic tricks in the astral realm and has her sights set on her handsome cousin Marc. Merry's games are fun at first, but she becomes a big problem for Marc, who has more than he can handle with a living family who needs his undivided love and attention.
