Libby Lakoski has started seeing ghosts. Admittedly, it’s not the worst thing that’s happened to her today – that would be attending the engagement party of her best friend, Carter Coldwell, who she’s secretly in love with. But it’s definitely a close second. And the ghost in question? Trip Coldwell, Carter’s super hot, super annoying cousin, who’s conveniently decided to haunt Libby until she helps to free him from the spirit realm. Libby doesn’t want to work with Trip, until he points out that his predicament has been caused by the infamous Coldwell curse that’s hung over his family for generations – and will one day come for Carter too. Desperate to save her best friend – and her chance at happily ever after – Libby agrees to help. But as she spends more time with the infuriatingly charming Trip, Libby soon realises she’s being haunted by feelings for another Coldwell, too.

Every September, the spirits of the dead return before vanishing four weeks later in a puff of ash – a phenomenon known as Ghost Month. Four strangers prepare for this year’s haunting, not realising their fates are connected by a dark secret. Schoolteacher Jane rents a husband for the month, in the hope of convincing her deceased mother that she is interested in men. Lil, sleeping rough on the streets, drinks herself into oblivion. She is terrified to see the ghost of the little girl she lost, and terrified that she might never see her again. Nestled within his wealthy bubble, Gideon hires body doubles in a bid to shake off unwanted spectres. Little Eddie lives in his older brother’s shadow, which wouldn’t be so bad if his brother wasn’t dead. As the haunting wears on, and a hidden truth rises to the surface, each of them will end the month changed in ways they never imagined.
