Layla died on the edge of a place she was never meant to haunt.
Now she lingers between lockers and floodlights, trapped on a campus that isn't hers, carrying a story no one knows and a past she can't outrun - even in death. The other ghosts whisper, speculate, try to piece her together. Layla lets them. Some truths are safer left buried.
Wally's been here longer than her.
A fixture of the football field, still wearing the life he lost like a second skin. He knows the rules of this afterlife. Where they can go, what they can touch, what lines they are never supposed to cross. He follows them. He has to. It's the only way to survive eternity.
Until Layla.
Their connection is instant, dangerous, and unmistakable. What starts as shared silence turns into stolen moments, late-night conversations, and a pull neither of them understands. The closer they get, the more the boundaries of their world begin to blur - and the more Layla's carefully hidden story threatens to surface.
Because some deaths leave scars.
Some ghosts are running from more than just the past.
And falling in love when you're already dead might be the most reckless thing of all.
Especially when choosing each other means stepping out of bounds.
