Erin has been struggling to establish boundaries with her charismatic but reckless college ex-boyfriend, Silas. Despite her attempts to distance herself from him, Silas continuously seeks her help, asking her to bail him out of rehab. However, when he overdoses and passes away in their hometown of Richmond, Virginia, Erin realizes that she must finally cut him off for good.

In her grief and search for closure, Erin is introduced to Ghost, a new drug that supposedly allows users to see the dead. Intrigued by the prospect of reconnecting with Silas, Erin agrees to participate in a seance facilitated by a friend. However, she soon discovers that the drug has far-reaching and unpredictable consequences.

Taking Ghost initiates a series of haunting experiences that blur the line between reality and illusion. Erin witnesses the ghostly presence of Silas and is tormented by his lingering presence. She becomes consumed by her desire for closure, even if it means risking her sanity and safety.

As Erin delves deeper into the world of Ghost, she realizes that there is no turning back. The drug has a hold on her, and she is trapped in a cycle of addiction and despair. She desperately seeks help from medical professionals, but they are powerless to reverse the effects of the drug.

Erin's story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of substance abuse and the consequences of seeking closure in unhealthy ways. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, the dead cannot be seen, and the pain of loss can linger forever.
