Sharp-witted and uncompromising Lina Pascalli and sweet and sensible Chloe de Blaise are accidentally taken by a dyslexic motor cab driver to the former presbytery and now boarding house of the irascible and cunning Brother Ferdinand. Unwilling to see them at first, Ferdinand is convinced by Mother Agatha to let them stay.

They reside in the historic Sanaylan, known in the region as the Volcano of Spirits- from which paranormal activity, unexplained happenings, and the appearance of heralds of disaster or turbulent spirits and entities spew forth every decade. So there’s that too..

At first, they don't get along, but soon they warm up to each other as they are forced to work together to tackle headfirst the stresses, heartaches, difficulties, and all the other curb-stomps of their youth. And spooky stuff. There is also spooky stuff.
