Living next door to the local senior center, 10 year-old Henry thought he’d gotten used to the peculiarities and quirks of the retirees. Among the old timers is Sal; a disabled veteran with a talent for finding ingenious uses for ordinary objects, and Phyllis; a hoarder whose colossal handbag is filled with ordinary objects, plus a tiny dog with a knack for locating items within the giant bag.
But Henry is about to discover that the lives of the seniors are even odder than they seem. Ghosts linger among the living and the dead live on in photographs. Aided by supernatural forces, Henry and a group of elderly misfits must face danger and overcome the obstacles of advanced age as they struggle to right wrongs and bring justice to criminals.
