Will dies in a traffic accident and finds himself invisible in a hospital, unable to be seen or heard by anyone—except Dougie, his closest friend. The boy who has become a ghost realizes his movements are bound to Dougie, and they venture into the mystery of Will’s death. Their investigation takes them to rumors of an unhappy spirit haunting their school grounds and to clues that connect Will’s accident, a first kiss on school grounds, and a possible hit‑and‑run driver. Together, they uncover a long‑buried secret that continues to echo in the present.
