Some guests never leave...
Old hotels carry their pasts in musty hallways and darkened stairwells, their empty rooms long silent witnesses to forbidden love, whispered lies, and dangerous secrets.
The Hotel Philip is aged and derelict. Once a proud and gracious host to Seattle's wealthy elite, time - and the appalling events in Room 33 - brought neglect and ruin. Today, the Philip's scattering of occupants is an assortment of low-rent tenants whose choices for better accommodation are limited by poverty, addiction, and criminal records. The Philip is their port of last resort.
When her stepfather dies, travel writer, Joy Cole, inherits the Hotel Philip. Her first plan is to sell it for its land value, and return to her wandering lifestyle. But during a tour of the once grand and gracious hotel, her plan changes. In the Philip's grim, hoary walls she sees the chance for a new and better life, both for her lonely soul and the long-neglected hotel.
She also becomes attracted to one of the Philip's most unlikely residents, the wry, enigmatic Wade Emerson, grandson of the hotel's builder.
But there are those, both from the past and the present, who violently and cunningly oppose Joy's plan to restore the Philip. But neither threats nor Wade's unexpectedly cool reaction stop her from going ahead.
But not everyone is against Joy moving into the Philip. One person is delighted. The person who wants her dead - in Room 33.
