The Veil, the boarder between life and death, has shifted releasing masses of ghosts, spirits, and super natural entities into the world. Nearly 75 years later thousands of supernatural forces have been returned back behind the veil, but still, many remain.

Lauren Jauregui, like most of the millennials, trained her whole life to become a ghost hunter. All ghosts were bad, they haunted for fun, tormented innocent beings, and they possessed thousands of  people; they were devils or "Spooks" as the millennials like to call them. They needed to be sent back through the veil to the afterlife where they belonged.....or at least that's what Lauren's been taught.

Of course, then she meets Camila.
