Lekan Daniels knows the first and only rule of dealing drugs: 1- Don't get busted or it's game over. But getting caught is the last of her worries even as she ends up in the notorious Mary Slessor Youth Detention Center awaiting trial because the worst of her problems is that she can hear the thoughts of the dead that haunt the nights of the juvenile prison and one ghost is particularly pesky with his demand.
