17-year-old Maggie, the goody-two-shoes, the nerd, and the straight-A student, has never even considered the possibility of dying before 20. Spoiler alert; now she's dead. Except, she's also never considered the existence of ghosts. Before she became one. Now she has to re-learn everything about the world, from another point of view. Except it's not the same. She wanted to fall in-love. She was so close to scoring a spot at Harvard. She was living her best life. But now it's gone.
18-year-old Mac, a bassist in a popular teenage boy band, Binded, just wanted to die. He wanted his world to end and his life to be forgotten. He wanted his soul to be lost for eternity. But then he became a ghost. Now he's twisted between finding a way to exile his soul so he'll never have to experience anything close to 'life' again, or starting a new story as a ghost.
When their two worlds collide, it's anything but love at first sight. Happy, quirky Maggie is the complete opposite to depressed, suicidal Mac. But when the world reveal secrets to only the dead and mysteries unfold, they realize that they may have more in common than they thought; including the fact that their deaths are somehow connected.

For sixteen year old Mattie Hathaway, this is her normal everyday routine. She's been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old. No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks. Being a foster kid is hard enough without being labeled a freak too.
Normally, she just ignores the ghosts and they go away. There's a little glitch this time. The ghost she sees is her foster sister, Sally. Everyone thinks she's just another runaway. Mattie knows the truth, though-she's dead, murdered. Foster kids look out for each other and Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can't do it alone. Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young police officer and together they set out to discover the truth of Sally's disappearance.
Now the killer has set his sights on her. It becomes a race to see if she can find the truth before the serial killer finds her.
