When a famous child actor, Dexter Moore, leaves Hollywood and moves to Provincetown, MA, with his daughter and his longtime housekeeper, he doesnt expect to find that his new house is haunted. And especially not with the ghost of a strong, virile young sea captain who looks like Hugh Jackman and makes love like no other living man Dexter has known.
But Dexter must deal with more important things than ghosts. He soon discovers that his ex-partner lost all his money in a bad investment and Dexter is forced to go back to work. So he reluctantly agrees to do an intrusive TV show, where he is followed with cameras for three months. If he doesnt, hell have to sell his magnificent new home and move back to Hollywood.
In order to make the TV show more interesting, Dexters new best friend gets him involved in a heated town dispute. The new president of the chamber of commerce wants to cancel a town tradition and start something new, and half the town is against him. But Dexter doesnt get involved with this for the TV show or ratings. Hes only interested in helping people and saving an important fundraiser from being canceled.
While all this is happening, Dexter slowly gets to know the ghost of handsome Captain Lang. Hes the only one who can see and hear Lang. They make passionate love together, they spend long hours talking about Dexters strong feelings, and they start working on a series of books about Captain Langs notorious adventures at sea that will ensure Dexters financial future. But when the books are finished and the two men finally admit they are in love, how will they reconcile their feelings with reality?
