Emmy Sands has just bought her first house. When she first hears footsteps in the attic, she dismisses it as the groans and creaks of a new home. When she sees things moving across her living room without reason, she dismisses it as a figment of her overactive imagination. Finally, when she runs out of excuses, Emmy finally accepts that her house isn't just old, it's actually being possessed by a thousand year-old demon named Malkos. Malkos is not a happy demon. He doesn't like his job. He's supposed to torment, haunt and kill human victims but he's bored. He's used to being able to walk through an attic and have his prey scream with terror and call in an exorcist. He hadn't banked on Emmy. She doesn't scream...she rationalizes. She accepts that she's being haunted but she doesn't give in to it. Malkos has finally met his match: A human who is as bored with life as he is. Though they come from different worlds, Emmy and Malkos soon discover that they really aren't that different after all. In the end they learn that while misery loves company, romance isn't bad either and though it means inevitable misery for one or both, they realize that sometimes it's worth exploring new worlds to find their place in their own.
