Desman Steele is a mess. His SSI team has been given an impossible mission by the Vice President of the United States: find a ghost. This has also brought two new people to their team, via the government. One being a snarly, stuck-up "B" of a woman, Amanda Briggs.

Mandy is a businesswoman and damn good at her job. She's been a liaison for the Vice President for the past two years. For the past year, she's been tracking a ghost threat that seems to disappear every time she gets close. Mandy and her associate, Kelley Thompson, are not only working with SSI but also living on the ranch. It's been hell.

Dez and Mandy have to make a trip to Washington. On their return flight, something happens midair that makes them rethink their situation.

Will Mandy and Dez be able to work together, or will their differences cause more damage? Will Dez give Mandy the time of day?
