I myself am strange and unusual.” — Lydia \nAdam and Barbara are a normal couple … who happen to be dead. They have given their precious time to decorate their house and make it their own\, but unfortunately\, a family is moving in\, and not quietly. Adam and Barbara try to scare them out\, but end up becoming the main attraction to the money-making family.
