Tom Golden is a normal boy. About the only thing the least bit unusual about him is that he is new in his school and that he is picked on by bullies and just about everybody else. In the depths of his misery, he sits crying quietly on his bed. At the same in another part of town, Grey Arthur sits in misery on a park bench. He has been a ghost for years, but he just can't seem to find where he fits in. He has trained as a sorrow summoner, a screamer, a poltergeist and even a faintly real, but has been a miserable failure at all of them. Both boy and ghost cry out at the same time, 'Life isn't fair.' With that, Grey Arthur and Tom Golden become connected. Arthur becomes Tom's invisible friend. A friend Tom doesn't even know he has until an accident somehow enables Tom to see Arthur and all the ghosts in the ghost world. When a ruthless con man finds out that Tom can talk to ghosts, Arthur must protect him from more than gum in his hair and notes on his back.
