Jake is such a lovable character. He is a medium who is dealing with high school and seeing ghosts. He starts to see the ghost of a teenage boy who is torturing him. He has to solve some troubles from his past to defeat this ghost and banish him.
Along the way Jake meets some friends who are in it for the long run. And also falls in love.
