We all have our demons, but Hugo's may be real. In the nine years since his older brother, Kasper, stepped out in front of a car during a ghost hunt, Hugo has been haunted by more than just questions about his brother's death. A hole in his memory and a burning in his right hand, Hugo is always angry and he doesn't know why. The reigning school bully at the dead end Juniper High, Hugo has his sights locked on one target: Salem Willow. A darkly dressed young man who walks with the cadence of a funeral procession, it is evident in his eyes that Salem doesn't fear Hugo. But for some reason, he refuses to fight back. After going too far, Hugo is mandated to attend anger management classes and given a choice: join a club or be expelled. Finding himself in the midst of a skeptic, a wild card, a quiet kid, and an attractive occultist, Hugo opens the door that Kasper closed, restarting his brother's old ghost hunting club: Phantasmal. Despite the uncertainly of redemption, Hugo is determined to find answers and defeat his demons. But what will he do when he learns that they are real?
