Jacob was a normal teenager... until... "the incident." When Jacob was only 15, he had lost his parents. Jacob got nothing from it, no money, no inheritance, nothing. Being under the age of 18, he was sent to live with his Aunt Laura... until he was 21 that is. On his 21st birthday, she was to send him off with a departing gift and was expected to never come knocking on that door again. Aunt Laura may seem like a warmhearted and kind person but that was all a lie. The only generous thing she did, was let him stay 3 years after the age of 18. Which was exactly one year from today. Jacob is in his 2nd year of college and works 2 part-time jobs. He works one at the museum, and one at a GameStop. He had to work both if he wanted to have enough money for food in a year. Nobody notices Jacob in his classes, it's almost as if he's a ghost there. But the one person who pays attention to him is his roommate Lance. Lance was always there for him. But after a paranormal trip to the cemetery, will Lance still want to be Jacob's friend? Is the world ready for this ghostly new phenomena?
