Filomena & the Fool

Despite her mother's wishes, sixteen year old Filomena Solas does not believe in tarot cards. crystals, or "energies." Since her father's death, she doesn't believe in much at all. Her small circle consists of her grumpy elderly downstairs neighbor Mr. Wertz and Jaden, her best friend who spends more time in fantasy games than reality. Oh, and the light orbs that visit her every once in a while that no one else sees.

Dragged by her mother to one of her spiritual groups at Washington Square Park, Filomena looks up to see an oddly dressed boy and his dog dunking their heads into the fountain. Interested, Filomena talks to the mysterious boy and is left confused by his dodgy answers. It is only later that she realizes the boy's attire and his dog matches one of her mother's tarot cards: the Fool.

When the light orbs lead her on a wild chase through New York City to find the Fool stranded on the steps of a library, she learns that he is not a human, but a spirit who has been kicked off of his planet by the High Priestess to start a new journey on earth.

Filomena joins the Fool and his dog Jagger on an adventure to find portals back to his world so that he can find the spirit of his long lost true love. They trespass through underground tunnels and New York's haunted locations, bumping into protective spirits and evil ones, wandering souls looking to inhabit a human form. Soon, both Filomena and the Fool realize that Filomena may be connected to the spirit world and her powers are susceptible to attack by evil, hungry spirits.

Their journey in returning the Fool back to his home is set awry when Filomena's mother suddenly disappears under the full moon, her spirit inhabited by a malicious wandering soul. But the longer that the Fool remains on earth, the more human he becomes and the less he remembers about the spiritual world. It is up to Filomena to connect with spirit and find her mother before she turns into someone she can no longer save.
