Kat netouží po ničem jiném než být normální holka. Její maminka je však médium, a ne jen tak nějaké: vidí duchy zemřelých a dokáže s nimi rozmlouvat. A taková věc se neutají. Navíc Kat právě zjistila, že přízraky dokáže vidět také! Ona jediná může pomoci duchu mrtvé dívky, který obchází ve školní knihovně, aby konečně dokázal odejít na onen svět. Zvládne to dřív, než ji banda nafoukaných spolužaček naprosto znemožní a vyštípe ze školy?
Podle animovaného filmu od tvůrců Koralíny, Mrtvé nevěsty Tima Burtona či Spláchnutej! Norman Babcock to nemá jednoduché. Umí totiž mluvit s mrtvými a to s sebou přináší všelijaké nesnáze. Zesnulí často mívají pocit, že to, co mají na srdci, je nejdůležitější na světě. A ačkoli se mu někdy zdá, že jsou jejich přání trošku padlá na hlavu, Norman jim rád pomáhá. Cítí se totiž mezi duchy lépe než mezi živými. To však jeho okolí vůbec nechce pochopit. Nemine den, aby si ho ve škole někdo nedobíral, a ani doma to není dvakrát růžové. A ke všem jeho trampotám se ještě přidá šílený prastrýček, zombie a rozzuřená čarodějnice. Osud celého městečka se rázem ocitne v Normanových rukou. Když neodvrátí tři sta let starou kletbu, lehne celá Ospalá Lhota popelem. Ale vysvětlujte to někomu.
