A live action adaptation of Nickelodeon's iconic cartoon. Danny Fenton was just a normal high school senior in Central Park. Or he would be if it weren't for his parents who specialize in the "ghost-hunting" business. While generally less than competent, his parents' engineering skill is phenomenal, leading to inventions such as the Fenton Portal, a machine that opens up a path to the "Ghost Zone", an odd kind of afterlife where, like in its spiritual predecessor, ghosts are both beings of the dead and creatures originally from that other dimension. Danny explores the portal and accidentally activates it, imbuing his molecular structure with ectoplasmic energy. Now with a set of formidable ghost powers, Danny eventually decides to use them to protect humanity from various spectral threats, but as he finds his groove he'll come across the biggest threat of all... from within his own family.
