Plot
Dr. Barbara Haughton (Robin Weigert) discovers the farmhouse she's recently rented is inhabited by the ghost of Elijah Parmenter, a Civil War soldier.
As her interest in Elijah grows and his presence comes to dominate her dreams, she assists in emergency surgery to save Jason Donovan (Anthony Carrigan), a young stabbing victim. Donovan’s life is saved but he's pronounced brain-dead. After thirty days, his wife agrees to remove him from all life support systems.
As Barbara removes Donovan from the machines that are keeping him alive, she suddenly realizes that his body, no longer wanted or needed, might serve another purpose. She reconnects the body to a mobile life support gurney, brings it to the farmhouse and offers it to the ghost.
Her happiness with Elijah is short-lived when a young girl is murdered the night Barbara is away at a party. Police Lt. Wascoe (Wes Studi) has identified a suspect as the possible killer: Jason Donovan.
