Childhood sweethearts Peter and Irene have found each other again after more than twenty years apart. After Irene shows up to an event promoting Peter’s latest book on paranormal experiences, Peter offers his childhood home to Irene for the home-renovation TV show she is producing. Irene brings her teenage son, Gary, with her in the hopes that Peter might be able to help Gary with the strange, possibly supernatural communications he has been receiving. As Peter and Irene’s romance slowly rekindles, they find themselves up against the house’s angry tenant, the ghost of Peter’s dead father—and he wants them OUT! Frightening ghostly confrontations, wild psychokinetic activity, and the unearthing of long-dead secrets all lead to a hair-raising showdown to see who can take possession of the family homestead.

Published Reviews

“This is a Tom Dudzick play, through and through…there’s always something that’s not talked about, a family or personal secret that drives the character’s behaviors and ultimately drives the play. That secret must come out before the curtain falls and it always does.” —Buffalo Rising

Tom Dudzick is in classic form… Characters in his plays, including this one, don’t talk in the jokey rim-shot style of sitcoms. Their conversations are just naturally funny.” —The Buffalo News
