Courtney is an [[Strange Girl|odd little girl]] who doesn't quite fit in. When she and her parents have to move to her uncle's old mansion, she must adjust to a whole new school in a neighborhood she isn't entirely comfortable with; however, things quickly take a turn for the better, as she meets the strange and interesting individuals that live in and around her uncle's house.
