Edward McDaniel has never been part of the popular crowd; in fact, he is pretty much shunned by his peers, forced to go through his high school years as a loner. He is privatelyand at times publiclyhumiliated as part of a running gag with his classmates. One summer afternoon, Jeremy Taylor takes one of these pranks too far and Edward drowns in a boating accident. Right before Edward breathes his final breath, he makes one last urgent wish: to live on. The wish is granted, to a certain extent, but only by capturing his soul inside a mysterious amulet Edward's grandfather had given to him before passing away.
Eighteen years later, Tyler Curtis moves to the city of Silver Ridge. Knowing no one, but able to make friends easily, Tyler is quickly pulled into a new circle of friends. Through a chain of events, Edward's amulet finds its way into Tyler's possession. After partying with his new friends, Tyler is in an extremely bad car accident and finds himself making the same wish as Edward: to live on. Tyler's wish is also granted, but the power of the charm releases Edward's soul into Tyler. Using Tyler's body as his puppet, Edward takes Tyler on a trip through madness as Edward seeks out each of the classmates that made his life a living hell while he was alive. Edward takes revenge to a whole new level, and Tyler finds himself right in the middle of it all until it comes down to the final confrontation between Edward McDaniel and Jeremy Taylor, the man who caused his death.
