Awakening from a coma, University of New Mexico's professor, Grayson Lane, finds himself in a living nightmare when the ghost of Sophia Cruz begins using him to accomplish her revenge on those who have betrayed her.

Sophia's fatal brain injury occurred as a result of her husband, New Mexico's State Senator Domingo "Dom" Cruz, deliberately pushing her down the staircase of their Santa Fe home. Dom sets his lecherous eyes on Zuri O'Dell, Grayson's lover. She is a talented potter and also a nominee for the lucrative Domingo and Sophia Cruz Endowment of the Arts Award. But when Zuri rejects Dom's sex for-success offer, he won't take no for an answer and uses his political power to exhort Zuri with Grayson's professorship.

Bewildered by his newly acquired poltergeist, Grayson seeks the help of the university's parapsychologist, Dr. Jordon Prothro. And when Zuri pleads for Prothro's help, he enlists Tate Edwards, a PI with a ghost of his own, to help Zuri break free of Dom's control. But none of the characters are prepared for the events that unfold when Sophia's ghost begins to enforce her revenge.
