Plot

Jane (Loisa Andalio) is a successful insurance agent who provides for her family's needs. Her perfect life ends when she killed in a car accident; however, unbeknownst to her and her loved ones the accident was intentional, having been planned by Jane’s work supervisor. Jane becomes a ghost and ends up in Evergreen Mansion, a transitory place in the afterlife where souls settle within 40 days before they can cross over to either heaven or hell. This is where Jane meets Edward (Ronnie Alonte), a musician and son of a memorial home business tycoon, whose third eye was opened due to an accident and he begins seeing ghosts.

As Jane slowly accepts her fate, her plans are thwarted by Edward who wants to expel all the ghosts in the mansion to build a resto-bar for himself and his band. Jane refuses to let Edward succeed by befriending him and trying to convince him not to remodel the mansion. However, things start to get complicated when Edward realizes Jane is a ghost, and they gradually develop feelings for each other, all while their respective families’ problems clash and the people around them attempt to figure out the connection between the two.
