In 1990, architect Frank Bannister's wife, Debra, dies in a car accident. He abandons his profession and his unfinished "dream house" sits incomplete. Following the accident, Frank gained the power to see ghosts and befriends three: 1970s street gangster Cyrus, 1950s nerd Stuart, and The Judge, a Gunfighter from American frontier. The ghosts haunt houses so Frank can then "exorcism" them for a fee. Most locals consider him a Confidence trick.
