Victor Ognisanti di Parerga is the richest young South Asian heir in the United States. He seems to be the ultimate narcissist, but is in fact quite the old-fashioned romantic at heart. His late, beloved father had set daunting conditions for anyone who wished to marry Victor. His first spouse had passed the test, but their marriage has since collapsed, and they are both seeing other people. When Victor meets a French doctor who strikes him as spouse material, he is surprised to discover that the French doctor’s deceased mother had set her own daunting conditions for anyone who wished to marry the doctor. For the first time in his life, Victor resolves to swallow his pride and do whatever it takes to achieve his happily ever after.

When a demon escapes from the orb that’s been imprisoning him, he takes possession of Malcolm’s body and heads for Vegas, leaving Mal’s spirit trapped in his longtime friend Henry’s house. With the help of a spirit guide, Henry performs a spell that allows him-but only him-to see what he thinks is Mal’s ghost. Since it’s well-known that spirits who linger must complete some “unfinished business,” Mal believes his task is to help Henry fall in love. Even though Mal himself has been in love with Henry for years, he valiantly tries to hook up his friend with his hot new neighbor in a hilarious series of misadventures. Finally, Henry and Mal give in to their long-hidden passion and battle the demon to get Mal’s body back and win their happily-ever-after.
