The Vibe

Harriet York is the kind of woman who has mastered the art of keeping everyone happy except herself. Kindhearted, dependable, and always willing to do what is expected of her, she certainly doesn't understand why she has suddenly become the target of a Christmas haunting.

Nolan Callahan, meanwhile, is the Ghost of Christmas Past, and he has no intention of becoming emotionally invested in his latest assignment. His job is simple: revisit the past, complete the haunting, and return to his aimless existence. Harriet, however, is proving to be anything but a routine assignment.

As Nolan and Harriet are drawn together, their journey through the past begins to reveal an unexpected connection between them. Their relationship is tender, playful, and charged with the kind of yearning that makes it increasingly difficult for Nolan to remain detached.

Set against a cozy holiday backdrop filled with magic, spirits, and Christmas charm, Good Spirits is a swoony take on A Christmas Carol that asks what happens when looking backward becomes the key to finding a way forward.
