imagine youre riley sowell. you grow up in the south of the us, your father beats you, your mom isnt in the picture. your drug dealing cousin gets you away from him and makes sure you get the education and opportunities you never had. you spend all your money on tuning your car. at one point you became a throuple with a law student and a mechanic, you are in a healthy relationship. you are now starting your masters and this dude shows up at your uni who wakes up a bunch of deadly ghosts, apparitions and other shit, but like, hes cool and he offers you a place to stay without rent because hes fucking loaded. you help him with his research because the ghost bullshit has something to do with his family history. somewhere in the middle of all of this he pays for your top surgery. then he fucking dies in the woods, everyone says its suicide and then the ghost dude's boyfriend shows up to figure out whether his boyfriend was murdered, he's like half a person at most, drags you right back into the deadly ghosts business, has a weird homoerotically charged dynamic with your cousin that you're definitely not being paid enough to deal with and somehow the fact that boyfriend guy thinks he's straight is the most fucked up part of it all.
