James never wanted to be in charge.

Never wanted to move up in the Foundation.

But heavy is the head that wears the crown and all that, right?

It’s been one month since James was assigned the captaincy at the North County Branch of the Foundation for Paranormal Studies. He’s exhausted, undertrained, and buried under mountains of paperwork when he’d rather be out in the field doing what he does best.

As new requirements come through for branch teams, North County is handed a fresh case to solve. The Jarvis Street School is long abandoned and about to be converted into condos. But before any construction can be done, the violent spirits haunting the building need to be removed.

What starts as a simple case becomes more complicated, with the team fiercely debating their moral responsibilities as new details come to light. Add in some simmering resentments, glitchy equipment, and what might or might not be the ghost of their murderous former captain following James around. Will James be able to keep his team together through this first real test of his leadership skills?
