What is Girl Haunts Boy about?

The movie follows Cole and Bea, as they get to know each other, including Bea’s secret. She’s a 17-year-old ghost from the 1920s who is trapped in the present day. While she is a ghost, she is also still a teenage girl, and that means chasing adventures and having fun. How do you do that when you’re dead, though?

Bea has haunted this house since the 1920s. It’s all thanks to a curse from an ancient ring. Never once did she fall in love, though, and she does when Cole moves into the house.

Is there a way to undo the curse? That is a question that comes up, but then that means bringing the love story to an end. Does Cole really want that to happen? What about Bea, who has found love but with someone in the land of the living?
