I think a great story, no matter how serious or dramatic, should have an element of comedy. Enter Harvey Holmes, the Sherlock of Haunted Houses and host to the Reality TV show, Harvey's Haunted Hunts. There's only one problem. The show's ratings. They're in the cellar. And as the story unfolds, we learn that the director of Harvey's Haunted Hunts, Melvyn Bloomberg, makes the tough decision. The show is cancelled. Well, this leaves Harvey in a lurch. He's no longer a hot commodity, and despite the recent popularity of Ghost Hunting shows, he finds himself unemployed.
But he gets a lucky break. A particular restaurant in Nazareth's Old City Market experienced an unsettling incident of unexplained apparitions. So what can the restaurant owner, Achmed Arabis, do when his establishment is cursed by the local holy men? Seek out the ghost hunter most likely to bring about a resurgence of his business, that's what. Harvey's show, like so many today, was broadcast across the world via satellite feeds, and Achmed just happened to be a viewer. So off to Hollywood he goes, and since Harvey is now available, the ghost hunter agrees to exorcise the ghosts at the restaurant. It makes for an interesting subplot, and an integral element to the main plot as the different plotlines converge in the story's climax.
