Bea wants to prove herself to her paranormal investigator parents and Jorge is determined to overcome his fear of the beyond. Theyre the Gay Spirits Alliance! And when Jasmine confesses shes been tormented by ghosts for years, they not only believe her, theyre thrilled!

But Jasmine doesn’t have the whole story, and when she finds out what her parents kept secret from her, shell learn that when youre protected from the past, you lose access to its power.
