Because of that decision, their lives are in jeopardy as a malevolent spirit targets the group.

Characterised by a sinister presence and an arsenal of smart-ass retorts, this is a corpse no one wants to mess with. Not even April herself. Trouble is, Mason’s undead status may not be the only problem at hand. With the death toll on the rise and a string of mysterious disasters sparking hysteria in their home-town, it’s clear the pair have bigger issues to deal with than their dysfunctional friendship. A paranoid shut-in at heart, April must battle her multitude of fears and put reason to good use as she sets out to lead the way in an investigation of the supernatural variety. Joined by a shady artist and a smooth-talking mean girl, the teens are ready as ever to tackle the horror and save their town from its impending doom. That is, if they don’t kill each other first.
