Synopsis/Details
Raj Rani, a once-successful screenwriter in Mumbai, suffers creative burnout. He buys a dilapidated house in Bishop, California, hoping for a quiet, hands-on life. Instead, he finds himself haunted—literally—by the ghost of Henri Dubois, a screenwriter who committed suicide in the 1950s after being blacklisted. Raj befriends Logan, a recovering addict who helps him restore the house. Logan becomes Raj's handyman, spiritual companion, and reluctant yoga partner. As Raj settles into this rural lifestyle, the typewriter in the house begins producing pages on its own. Henri, still bitter and unfinished in death, pushes Raj to collaborate with him on a script neither of them finished in life. Through this strange partnership, Raj begins to rediscover his creative spirit, confronts his past failures, and ultimately finds a renewed purpose—not only as a writer, but as a person capable of healing others too.
