Newlywed Nightmare

Newlyweds Annie and Nick are ready to begin their happily ever after — if they can survive the honeymoon. Immediately after tying the knot at New York City Hall, the couple heads to The Harrison Inn, the shabby old hotel Annie inherited from her beloved uncle. Annie dreams of restoring the place to its former glory, while practical, skeptical Nick is determined to make the struggling business profitable. There’s just one small problem: everyone seems convinced the hotel is haunted. And when Annie’s social media posts attract a couple hoping to swing with the spirits, a self-important celebrity medium, and a professional paranormal debunker, their romantic getaway quickly turns into a hilarious supernatural free-for-all.

As the hotel’s paranormal activity goes from strange to completely unhinged, Annie and Nick discover that ghosts may be the least of their problems. Misunderstandings, jealousy, demonic possession, eccentric guests, and a staff that knows far more than they’re letting on push their brand-new marriage to the breaking point. But behind the chaos is a surprising plan: the spirits of The Harrison Inn are putting Nick to the test, determined to find out whether he’s worthy of Annie — and the place she loves. Fast-paced, wildly funny, and packed with outrageous characters, Newlywed Nightmare is a supernatural farce about love, trust, and discovering that sometimes the scariest part of marriage isn’t the ghosts — it’s the living.
