The Resident

When Franchesca Pearl falls for the ever-capable Lathan Davidson, carnal instincts preside over future rapture. Upon finding the memoirs of a stranger, written in 1962, she and Lathan embark on a journey to rid Shelbyville of a curse that plagued the besieged populace for over two centuries.

The Memoirs bespeak of a golden-tongued ladies' man, a rake with whom women should err on the side of caution. His spirit furtively traverses hallow ground, awaiting the heir of the one who impassioned him from dusk till dawn â€"- the only one who can eradicate the curse that masquerades his immortal soul.

Francesca and Lathan delve into the past while history unleashes a slew of events that ensue their every move. Lathan vows to follow Francesca to Hell and back, an avowal that finds the lovers in purgatory. Together they attest a bygone era but must separately face the iniquities shorn of eternal renewal.
