The premise

Kevin Pacalioglu may have no money and no clue, but he can see dead people, so that’s pretty cool. Faced with a constant stream of stubborn spirits, Pac goes to whatever lengths require the least amount of effort to help New York City’s most frivolous ghosts finish their unfinished business, occasionally with the help of his best friend and drug dealer, Roofie.

Horror Vault's take

Pac is a broke, unmotivated New Yorker with one very unusual gift: he can see and communicate with the dead. Week after week, restless spirits rope him into resolving their leftover earthly dramas — whether he likes it or not. Armed with minimal ambition and maximum sarcasm, Pac tackles the afterlife's oddest requests with his dealer best friend Roofie in tow. It's ghost-whispering for people who absolutely do not want to be ghost-whisperers.
