When multiple missing persons cases and supposed ghost and demonic entity sightings stir up trouble and cause fear to take over the already mysterious town of Crystal Cove, the super sleuths known as the Hardy Boys, on a road trip with their fellow mystery solving friend Nancy Drew, run into car trouble just outside the town, having to hitch a ride with the Mystery Inc Gang, who were on their way from their home town of Coolsville to see family in Crystal Cove. Together, these trouble finding friends must solve the rising terror issue and save the town, before it’s too late... This is a dreamed up fan film concept bringing these iconic characters all together to solve an honestly quite dark mystery, much darker than the Mystery Inc. gang usually encounter, the story includes a small group of human traffickers, some of which who disguise themselves as demons to scare people in town. It also features a real, non-mask wearing, actual ghost who seems scary at first, but actually intends on helping the heroes solve the crime. (NOTE: This is Live-Action!)
