It is 1870 and peculiar events with ghostly overtones are taking place inside Atlanta, Georgia's exclusive Briarcrest Hotel. Nobody associated with the hotel wants to talk about them.
Jeremy Carter, the hotel's young desk clerk -- though warned by his superiors to ignore unsettling "happenings" -- watchfully and secretly records each incident as it occurs in a spare hotel registration ledger, a file he calls: Intangibles. When absentee owner Morgana Heirs Moss returns from Virginia, favoring her investment with a first inspection, having arrived without reservations, she engages Carter in an immediate an on-going conflict, finally demanding to see his Intangibles file. Therein, she discovers multiple witnesses' testimonies to bizarre incidents attributable to a ghostly figure who wanders the hotel's corridors. When family members begin turning up unexpectdly under differing and sometimes frightening circumstances, Morgana arranges a reunion. What happens next is best left untold, here.
