Francis Fitzgerald was born to a traditional American family 1904. Growing up, now eighteen years old in 1922, he knows he is different from the other boys, but keeps that part of himself hidden in exchange for the approval of his parents. As far as they know, he is the perfect son. Despite this, Francis was seduced by a successful, wealthy, and seemingly too good to be true older silent film star who invites him to the grand opening of the infamous Fairfell Hotel—a place protested by God fearing parents like Mother and Father. But Francis’s need for fulfillment would tragically lead to his premature demise.

Over a hundred years later have passed with Francis’s soul trapped in the hotel and he’s desperate for an escape. That’s when fate walks in: a boy named Max, and Max wants to die. The ghost who wants to live tricks the boy who wants to die into signing a contract, stating they both must live a life worth living. With that, Francis can finally leave the hotel in which he’s been haunting and this boy from the 1920s joins modern teenagers in a modern world. A story of friends, found family, acceptance, new lease on life, and tragedy.
