In the shadowy corners of high society lurks the strikingly beautiful widow, Elinor Fairchild, her reputation shrouded in chilling mystery. Dubbed as "The Kiss of Death Girl" by the scandal sheets, Elinor carries an unnerving curse. Each man she has been engaged to has met a violent, untimely death, painting her in a light of eerie intrigue. Desperate to shatter this ominous spell, Elinor's anxious aunt hires the services of 'Lucky' Downing, a fresh-faced chemical engineer, who is enticed by the allure of wealth. He agrees to a peculiar proposition – to feign engagement to the infamous widow for a month, hoping to break the sinister cycle. However, the moment Lucky steps into the role of Elinor's betrothed, he becomes an unwitting target of a spectral threat. The enigmatic "Smiling Ghost" emerges from the shadows, a chilling specter seemingly linked to the tragic fates of Elinor's former fiancés. As Lucky dodges deadly attempts on his life, the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, leaving hearts pounding and questions swirling in this thrilling tale of love, death, and mystery.
