Meet the Weiss family, who are making their way in Hollywood drowning in money, fame, envy, and relentless hauntings. Stafford Weiss is a famed TV self-help therapist with an A-list celebrity clientele. His wife Cristina has her work cut out for her, managing the career of their disaffected child-star son, who’s freshly out of rehab at age thirteen. Unbeknownst to them, another Weiss has arrived in town—the mysteriously scarred and tormented Agatha, just released from a psych ward and ready to make a new start. She soon works her way into a friendship with a limo driver and becomes the personal assistant to unraveling actor Havana Segrand, who is threatened by the ghost of her legendary mother. Agatha, however, is on a quest for redemption—and even in this realm of the artificial and the unearthly, she’s determined to find it, no matter what it takes.
