Plot: Teenage Ghosts with a Case to Crack (and a Life to Avoid)
Charles and Edwin are no ordinary detectives. These two are ghosts who opted out of the afterlife to solve supernatural mysteries on Earth.
Partnering with a living clairvoyant named Crystal, they navigate the murky waters between the living and the dead, all while clinging to their (un)life as teenagers.
Cast: Bringing the Deadpan Detectives to Life
