When the Hollywood actor, Noah Charm is murdered by a secretive elite cult and replaced by a soulless clone, he finds himself trapped in a ghostly limbo, forced to watch as "Diet Noah" fumbles through the life he once owned. With no way to reach the world of the living, Noah is desperate to expose the twisted conspiracy behind his death and reclaim his stolen legacy. But his afterlife takes an unexpected turn when he meets Penelope Blake-a ghostwriter, witch, and new tenant in his building-who unknowingly becomes his last connection to the world.
Penelope moved to LA seeking a fresh start, far from ordinary but right at home among Hollywood's hidden secrets and shadows. She's a writer for the stars and a medium, but she has no clue that her recent "boyfriend" is a clone, or that the real Noah is haunting her every move. As she begins to notice strange occurrences in her apartment, from flickering lights, misplaced objects to an unsettling feeling of being watched. Penelope realizes she's not as alone as she thought. And the charming spirit trying to reach her might just be the real Noah.
In a city where fame hides dark truths, Penelope and Noah must join forces across realms to unravel the sinister plot threatening Hollywood's brightest stars. As sparks fly between the ghost and the girl who can see beyond the veil, they uncover an underworld of cults, clones, and a fate that might be more eternal than anyone expected.
