When Steve buys the historic Akron Hotel for a steal, he considers himself lucky. To own an iconic property and run his own bar and restaurant at such a young age-it's a dream come true. Little does he know that the hotel is haunted, and when Wendy Kulbrick-one of the servers-is found murdered on the third floor of the hotel, Steve's dream turns into a nightmare.

The windows are sealed, there are no signs of forced entry, and there's no murder weapon in sight.
