If only ghosts could join unions.

Not great film that still has heart to bring some fun to the B film. After a nervous breakdown, a couple love to a home during rehab. A mysterious carpenter works at night taking pride in what he does, compensating for the lackadaisical day crew. Who is this guy? But he starts to intrigue the woman not quite recovering well from her stay in the hospital. Hokey elements and plot but performed with just enough gusto that it was an enjoyable if tired watch.
