Seeing ghosts was something Zak was always able to do. A harmless ability he had become used to and never thought would cause any problems...until now. After the sudden death of his father, Zak's world begins to fall apart when he is sent to live with his brutal aunt and uncle on a rundown estate. Their cruelty is relentless and he often finds himself on the wrong side of their temper. His ability to see things others cannot soon takes a dark twist when people around him begin to die. Hooded ghouls emerge from the darkness murdering anyone who poses a threat to Zak. Terrified he will be next, he realises he must find a way of stopping them before they turn on anyone else. With the help of a friend, he soon learns that the malevolent creepy phantoms are not all they appear to be and stopping them is only the start of his problems.
