Jake Baker spends most of his time with his uncle Calvin a kind but eccentric enthusiast of
occult artifacts and conspiracy theories. The summer Jake turns twelve he befriends a pair of
siblings new to town and so Calvin decides to initiate them all into the Saturday Night Ghost
Club. But as the summer goes on what begins as a seemingly light-hearted project may
