Twelve-year-old Jerome doesn't get into trouble. He goes to school. He does his homework. He takes care of his little sister.
 
Then Jerome is shot by a police officer who mistakes his toy gun for a real threat.
 
DEAD
As a ghost, watching his family trying to cope with his death, Jerome begins to notice other ghost boys.
 
Each boy has a story and they all have something in common...
