Synopsis
Chloe Saunders is a teenager who grew up in an ordinary home. When she reaches puberty she starts seeing ghosts, and they can see her. After an incident at school that is misread as mental illness, she is sent to Lyle House, a group home for troubled teens. Her housemates have secrets of their own, and Chloe sets out to find out what Lyle House really is. The home turns out to be a front for a group of people who use magic and run experiments on the teenagers in their care.
