In the sleepy town of Pinedale, North Carolina, seventeen-year-old Nate Collier, a self-proclaimed rebel, is accused of hanging his best friend. His alibi is Fiona, a ghost who haunts his school, and ravens who rescue him from an evil ghost awakened from his tomb. The authorities are convinced the murderer is flesh and blood. But nothing is as it seems. The ghost he thought was his friend turns against him and he realizes his attraction toward someone he believed was just a friend. But before he can tell Ruth Ann how he feels, he must join forces with past school enemies to defeat the evil ghost before it takes possession of its next victim-who could even be Nate himself.
