Nerds From the Crypt

"Homeless spirit medium Delane exists in a jaded world but, when her only friend is murdered, she hits rock bottom. She meets Marco, a ghost trapped in a rotting corpse craving revenge against the same person that killed Delane’s friend. Together, they embark on a quest for blood that metamorphizes into a journey of self-discovery and redemption. They find virtue in freeing souls damned to roam the earth even as a sinister power intends to keep the souls bound forever."
