Charlie Harrington not only sees the dead and speaks with them, he can make them real. Lucky for him, because the love of his life, Ethan, isn't among the living. While their relationship is unusual, things are good between them until Charlie is accused of murder and Detective Daniel Briggs walks into his life. Then, for the first time in years, Charlie is attracted to someone alive. Ethan knows he should step aside and let Charlie go, but Ethan just can't give him up--even if staying with Charlie may eventually kill him.
