Little Billy’s life is tormented by his monstrous aunt, who drags him to the cemetery every day and forces him to clean his dead uncle’s headstone. It is at the cemetery that Billy meets Myrtle, a little phantom suspended between the worlds of the living and the dead. But liberating Myrtle means losing the only real friend Billy has ever had.

Il piccolo Billy vive tiranneggiato dalla mostruosa Zia, che ogni giorno lo trascina al cimitero obbligandolo a ripulire la lapide del defunto Zio. Proprio al cimitero Billy farà amicizia con Myrtle, una fantasmina sospesa tra il mondo dei vivi e quello dei morti. Ma liberare Myrtle significa per Billy perdere l’unica vera amica che abbia mai avuto.
