Eight kids. One missing teacher. And three ghosts who refuse to let the case go cold.

When a beloved teacher at Collins Elementary suddenly vanishes without a trace, most people are ready to accept the simplest explanation and move on.

But the Arabella Street Detective Club isn't most people.

All eight members bring their own strengths, instincts, and questions?and none of them are willing to let the mystery go. What begins as a simple investigation quickly spirals into something far more unsettling: strange clues that don't add up, secrets hidden within the school, and something lurking behind the walls that shouldn't be there at all.

Because at Collins Elementary... the past isn't just remembered.

It's still investigating.

Somewhere within the school, the ghosts of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Professor Moriarty are watching?and they have their own unfinished business with the truth.

As the club digs deeper, they'll have to decide who to trust, what to believe, and how far they're willing to go to solve a mystery that bridges the line between the living and the dead.

Because this isn't just about finding a missing teacher anymore.

It's about uncovering something that was never meant to be found.
