Rom-Com.
Nathaniel Ray Crockett has been dead for years. Sort of. He's one of the "deadheads" - spirits who exist in an alternate reality. After a bizarre accident, Nathan discovers a way to inhabit the bodies of the living and shares the secret with others - a big no-no in the afterlife.
Just when he finds the love anf family he's searched for during his long, long existence, the World Council of Keepers decides to impose their oh-so-bothersome rules, Nathan is forced to defend his way of life, or lose everything.
Can a ghost from the hills of West Virginia, with a ninth-grade education, outwit the World Council of Keepers?
