After Mitch's father leaves the family, Mitch and his mother retreat to her parents' house on Bird Lake. To stave off his misery, Mitch imagines taking over the abandoned house next door and living a new, better life there. So, when the house's rightful owners show up to claim it, Mitch decides to haunt the house and "drive the intruders away." Unfortunately, only Spencer, the ten-year-old boy next door, notices the haunting.

Though Mitch loves Bird Lake, his grandparents’ house is too crowded, and he daydreams about moving with his mother into the abandoned-looking cottage next door. When the owners, the Stones, unexpectedly arrive, his hopes are shattered, and he hatches a plan to scare them off by making it seem as though the house is haunted. Unbeknownst to Mitch, Spencer’s older brother had drowned in the lake several years before, and Mitch’s actions lead Spencer to believe that Matty’s ghost is communicating with him. When the two boys finally meet, they realize that they have much in common, but they must overcome their secrets and sort through their differences before they can truly become friends.
