Mel Turner can't resist the chance to bring the Crockett Theatre, a decrepit San Francisco movie palace, back to life. But there's a catch: several artists are squatting in the building, and they aren't the only ones haunting the once-grand halls. When one of the squatters is found dead, the police have a long list of suspects. But then Mel discovers that the original owner of the theatre died under mysterious circumstances, and that there might be a connection to the ghost haunting her own attic. The case takes a sharp new turn - one that could bring down the curtain for the last time.
