Desc: Andie Miller is ready to move on in life. She wants to marry her fiancé and leave behind everything in her past especially her ex-husband North Archer. But when Andie tries to gain closure with him he asks one final favor of her before they go their separate ways forever. A very distant cousin of his has died and left North as the guardian of two orphans who have driven out three nannies already and things are getting worse. He needs a very special person to take care of the situation and he knows Andie can handle anything. When Andie meets the two children she quickly realizes things are much worse than she feared. The place is a mess the children Carter and Alice aren't your average delinquents and the creepy old house where they live is being run by the worst housekeeper since Mrs. Danvers. What's worse Andie's fiancé thinks this is all a plan by North to get Andie back and he may be right. Andie's dreams have been haunted by North since she arrived at the old house. And that's not the only haunting. What follows is a hilarious adventure in exorcism including a self-doubting parapsychologist an annoyed medium her Tarot-card reading mother an avenging ex-mother-in-law and of course her jealous fiancé. And just when she thinks things couldn't get more complicated North shows up on the doorstep making her wonder if maybe this time things could be different between them. If Andie can just get rid of all the guests and ghosts she's pretty sure she can save the kids and herself from the past. But fate might just have another thing in mind....
