Cayce McCallister and sister Harri Wellington, fifty-year-old "magnets for trouble," live by the philosophy of their father, giver of their gift of seeing into the past. Through a bloodstained cookbook in Natchez, Mississippi, restless spirits channel Cayce and Harri, beckoning them to follow the path leading to Spanish Oaks Inn in south Mississippi. Here the sisters come face to face with spirits of slaves related to the current owner and his distant cousin, the resident fortuneteller. Joshua Devaux, present owner of Spanish Oaks, is smitten with one of the sisters and becomes ghost-hunter-in-training as he joins Cayce and Harri in solving the mysteries haunting the plantation since the 1840s. But can they unravel the disappearances, murder, and thefts in time to save Joshua's daughter from a terrifying death in the swamp at the hands of a modern-day monster?

"Keep an open mind and an open path, and the Way will find you." This philosophy of Cayce McCallister and Harri Wellington leads the sisters to Bar None, a ghost town high in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. The locale is home to many spirits from the gold rush era and to lingering human relics from the town's early days-all playing havoc on town renovation efforts. The sisters, along with friends both living and dead, hope to uncover the secrets of Bar None's past and send its resident spirits to rest. In the present is the pressing matter of missing young women-all pregnant. Can the sisters solve the mysteries of the past and of the present before time runs out? Or will they find themselves trapped by the "Keeper of the Lambs"?
