Plot
Annie Nations lives alone in the mountains after the death of her husband, Hector, five years prior. His ghost remains, however, with only Annie being able to see and hear him. Prince Carpenter, a real-estate buyer who wants to turn the Nations' property into a resort, arrives and attempts to convince Annie to sell after failing to convince Hector to do so five years previously, but her son, Dillard, arrives and makes Prince leave. Dillard reunites with his mother and his childhood friend Holly Burrell, and the three attend a concert of Dillard's, where he plays "My Feet Took T' Walkin", but in an upbeat and happy way, which somewhat upsets Annie. After the concert, Dillard returns home and plays the original version of the song, which is slow and somber. Throughout the play, there are flashbacks of Hector, Annie, and Dillard's lives, including Annie and Hector's meeting, Dillard's birth, Hector's death, and Hector's funeral, amongst others. Ultimately, Annie decides to sell the property to Prince, and she can no longer see or hear Hector's ghost as a result. The play ends with a monologue from Hector, which ends with the words "She'll be back." ==Film adaptation ==
