Rewriting Singularity

All sitcom writer Jacob Grey wanted was story credit. Instead his partner betrays him above and below the covers: He steals Jake's pilot, sells it to ABC, and sleeps with their bimbo agent. That's when Jake leaves and ends up at a quirky Green Bay bed and breakfast.

Nothing at the bed and breakfast is normal. Jake's confounded by mysterious bangs and clangs inside the walls, and how despite writer's block, his new sitcom writes itself while he sleeps. He's not even sure if the owners are human. But he is sure there's something about one of the owners. Hector Lodge, the man Jake calls Mr. Mumbles, is one big secret-a secret Jake wants to know better.

When Jake sneaks into a hidden passageway between the walls to learn more about Mr. Mumbles, he finds more than a bedroom. A music box plays just for him with a journal tucked inside that he's drawn to read. A story unfolds that binds two strangers' pasts with his present.

After Mr. Mumbles confronts Jake about his snooping, he confides in Jake. Yes, the house is haunted, and yes, the journals could answer why.

But when Jake hires two private investigators to uncover information about the journal's author, Jake also has them secretly look into Hector's past. What they discover unravels the family's hidden history and links them to the man who haunts them.
