You don't have to die to become a ghost.
Daniel lives alone, and he does nothing but sleep and work, work and sleep. When this sleep is repeatedly interrupted by his neighbor's barking dog, he surprises himself by doing something despicable. When he finally meets the mysterious neighbor, he surprises himself again: he finds that a friend is something he's been missing more than he knew.
Ellie's been having a very rough time since tragedy struck her family. Her out-of-state brother wants to move her into a nursing home as soon as they can sell her old house. But it needs a lot of work, and she just hasn't been able to deal with it alone.

In fact he, and Ellie – and Gringo – have been somewhere...
