Do you dare to be scared Jake Jensen only wants one thing- to rock out with an electric guitar in the coolest band ever. But when he earns himself a week's detention clearing out the creepy attic at school, he unlocks a spine-chilling secret. With three teen ghosts on the run from a sinister phantom demon hell bent on keeping them locked in Limbo, Jake must choose- walk away, or help solve the mystery of their untimely demise and risk joining them on the Other Side. Forever.
