She lists her ancient mansion on an Airbnb-like platform, dubbing her property as an 'authentic haunted experience'. On the other side of the world, the Aussie backpacker, Charles (Louis Hunter), trying to find non-traditional experiences, books a stay, unconcerned to the fact that he's registered for a serenade with a ghost.

Resolution
In an edge-of-the-seat climax, Marty storms the estate planning to exorcise Eleanor and winds up nearly ruining the mansion. The climax encapsulates a roller-coaster of emotions as Charles, with the power of relationship and newfound guts, stands versus Marty and helps Eleanor reclaim her house.

Conclusion
