A lighthearted supernatural romantic comedy where ghosts and living guests fall in love at a haunted castle, prioritizing charm and humor over scares or depth.

When a hotelier attempts to fill the chronic vacancies at his castle by launching an advertising campaign that falsely portrays the property as haunted, two actual ghosts show up and end up falling for two guests.
