Synopsis:
In Mystekal, a small, dying town in the Southern California desert, only
75 students attend the old, sometimes creepy high school dubbed “Mystical
High,” where strange things have been known to happen. Jessie Dalworth and
Jinxsy Patterson are juniors and lifelong best friends. At home, Jessie deals
with the pain of an absentee mother who has abandoned the family for the lure
of Hollywood; Jinxsy contends with a 17th “birthday present” she never wanted
or expected.
Meanwhile, at school, the unexplained
activity begins to escalate when Jinxsy keeps seeing a long-haired guy in the
hallway checking her out. Jessie can’t see him, but her younger brother, River,
can.
Then, in English class, a stapler
mysteriously flies off teacher Eve Carrow’s desk, hitting a student in the face
who has just mouthed off to her. The beloved teacher is in the unenviable
position of having her brute of a father as principal, so she hates sending any
student to his office. As Principal Ernest Carrow begins to terrorize Eve and
others more openly, something or someone unseen decides that it’s payback time.
School is getting stranger, and Jinxsy and
Jessie are faced with mind-boggling changes in their home lives that complicate
everything. When a string of shocking events expose explosive secrets,
decades-long mysteries are finally revealed.
