Hidden deep in the mountains of Wild Wonderful West Virginia is a town called Wanton and traipsing through this town is a Wraith. When murder happens, the locals blame the ghosts of Wanton, but the law accuses the stranger. Deciding which stranger is hard to ascertain since The First Annual Haunted River Ghost Walk is being held in Wanton and there are many tourists to choose from. There is one who is of particular interest.
A tall handsome stranger, James Freeman enters the town, not to go on the tour, but to do business with the seamy mayor. His hobby of collecting civil war memorabilia and his skills in research takes him from the prime suspect to chief advisor on the murder case of an unlikely stamp collector.
The motels are full and against his better judgment James takes an attic room in Jessup's Bed and Breakfast. He plans to finish his business with the seamy Mayor and head to a more populated area where he can get a private motel room. Between his work and his devotion to his mother he's never taken the time to develop a relationship with the opposite sex. He tries to resist his attraction to Carolyn, who's Aunt Lavina owns the boarding.
The hoopla over the Wanton Wraith aggravates James. He knows there is no such thing as ghosts, but yet he goes on the ghost walk to be close to Carolyn. He doesn't hesitate to dive into the cold Cheat River to save her life.
