Charlies Wilkins in an ex-jock with a chip on his shoulder, and an Air Force father gone M.I.A. Wiz has a brain for science, a love for steampunk and a total disgust for most human beings. Riley is the new kid in town, shy, overweight, and living a torturous home life.

With zero chemistry between them, this volatile mix of lab partners must learn to work together to pass Earth Science. Then the earth shifts. It seems impossible. A ghost girl reaches out to Charlie through the terrified skater boys. She's being stalked by a vengeful spirit that shares a past with Charlie's family. It soon becomes clear that the spirit is coming for him. He has to save the ghost girl and save himself. His only hope? The nerd Wiz, the loser Riley, the skaters Mouse and Mattheson who want to hook-up with the girl. But, seriously, she's a ghost. Strange times indeed..
