Synopsis
When eleven-year-old Koot Hoomie Parganas accidentally inhales the ghost of Thomas Edison from a glass vial, he becomes the target of Los Angeles ghost-eaters hungry to consume the inventor's powerful spirit. A frantic chase through the supernatural underbelly of LA ensues as multiple factions converge in a darkly comic tale of ghosts, madness, and survival.
