They discover that Avery's grave is actually part of a neglected and forgotten Black cemetery, dating back to a time when White and Black peoplewere kept separate in life--and in death. As Iris and Daniel learn more about their town's past, they become determined to restore Avery's grave and finally have proper respect paid to Avery and the others buried there. But they have awakened a jealous and demanding ghost, one that's not satisfied with their plans for getting recognition. One thatis searching for a best friend forever--no matter what the cost.
