Frank Bannister es un charlatán que posee facultades psíquicas auténticas, pero que no las usa para ayudar a la gente, sino para ganar dinero hostigando a los potenciales clientes con la ayuda de varios espectros compinchados con él. Pero todo cambiará cuando en el pueblo comiencen a producirse una serie de muertes inexplicables detrás de las cuales está el espectro de un asesino en serie ejecutado 20 años atrás.
Frank Bannister is a man who goes around town claiming that he can talk with and see ghosts, though while he can, some believe (though he is, in fact) a common con-man who gets ghosts to make it appear though there is a haunting in whichever house is chosen, wherein he sweeps into action and pretends to remove the ghosts. All this goes on until one day strange deaths start occurring all throughout town and Frank ponders this, while his love interest, Lucy Lynskey, whose husband had only just died of the same cause, goes to the house of a deranged old woman who keeps her grown-up daughter locked up, saying that it is for the good of everyone else. Soon, it is revealed that even the ghosts themselves can see the force that is killing everyone off; a deceased mass murderer come back from Hell itself to continue killing. It is therefore up to Frank, Lucy, as well as two ghosts, to find out how to end the fiendish ghost from killing any more, while all the while trying to shake off a deranged detective from arresting them both.
