Ghosts Can’t Do It

Katie O'Dare and Scott share a deeply loving relationship despite their 30-year age gap. They pursue an active, adventurous life, including passionate nights. Their bond anchors the story and makes the turning points more devastating.

During a horseback ride, Scott suffers a heart attack but survives. Doctors reveal that he will no longer be able to have sex, casting a shadow over their future. The couple is forced to confront a drastically altered life together.

Doctors deny him a heart transplant due to his advanced age. The denial confirms that Scott will live with a severely limited life and lost sexual function, tightening the tragedy around their romance.

Choosing to die on his own terms, Scott commits suicide. His death creates a void that Katie must face without his living presence.

Ascending to the afterlife, Scott is greeted by a fledgling guardian angel who is unsure of her role. He persuades her to permit his return to Earth as a ghost so he can stay near Katie. The scene sets up the supernatural framework of his comeback.

Scott returns to Earth as a ghost, but only Katie can see or hear him. Their reunion is bittersweet because they still cannot touch or physically connect. The ghostly presence begins to shape the couple's plans and desires.

Scott convinces Katie that she must kill to allow him to possess the victim's body. He frames the murder as a means to sustain their bond and give him a second chance at life. The moral line is set and gradually erodes as the plan takes shape.

Using her inheritance, Katie travels around the world under the pretense of handling Scott's business affairs to scout for a suitable victim. Along the way, she navigates a subplot where she negotiates a business deal with Donald Trump. Each locale intensifies the pressure of the impending crime.

Scott guides her to have sex with each potential victim to test physical compatibility. The process grows increasingly clinical, yet Katie's emotions begin to complicate the ruthless plan. The dynamic reveals how far she is willing to go for Scott.

Finally they settle on a young, handsome petty criminal named Fausto as their target. Katie's escalating intimacy with him begins to blur the lines between seduction and murder. The selection marks the escalation toward the climactic act.

During their extended relationship, Katie's growing attachment to Fausto complicates the plan to kill him. The more intimate they become, the harder it is for her to imagine ending his life. The tension signals a break point for the arrangement.

During a snorkeling trip, Fausto is caught in a fishing net and drowns. Scott initially cannot possess the dead body, creating a moment of tension that upends the plan. Katie witnesses the tragedy and faces the immediate moral and practical consequences.

Katie revives Fausto with CPR, and Scott is able to possess the now-living body. The miraculous revival completes the twisted reversal that the plan required. The living Fausto becomes the vessel for Scott's continued presence on Earth.

Katie marries Fausto, who is now permanently possessed by Scott. The marriage solidifies the fusion of two worlds—Katie's humanity and Scott's ghostly return—into one unsettling union. The couple's future is now bound to the possessed Fausto.
