Physical Anthropology student Zandra Anderson is cursed by a Native American spirit while on an archaeological dig at an Indian Burial Mound. Her curse is that whenever she touches the bones of anything human (or animal) the ghost of that person will appear before her and can speak to hear and interact with her. With the help of her best friend Cory and Maria, a stern and intelligent co-worker, she embarks on a journey to try and get the curse lifted and along the way discovers sorcerers, grave robbers, serial killers, cannibals, and ghosts galore.

Character Bios
Zandra Anderson – Zandra is an student at majoring in Physical Anthropology. The daughter of a legend in the field of archaeology, Zandra is an overly ambitious, egotistical, self-centered and self-righteous bitch. Intelligent, but stubborn to a fault she demands that the world work for her. Money, fame and power are her goals, but the curse she gets changes all of that.
Cory Devro – Cory is Zandra best friend since childhood. The only child of an extremely wealthy but broken family, Cory is a spunky, slightly preppy party girl who’s also very courageous, and very intelligent. She is a linguistic anthropology major and speaks several languages. Her greatest ambitions in life are to have fun and piss her parents off.
Maria Sanchez – Maria is the conscience of the group. A strong believer in native American rights, and part Native American herself, she believes in archeological reform and respecting all cultures — living and dead. She is an archeology major and is the moral opposite of Zandra, though just as stubborn, and the two often argue. However, Maria is the one Zandra calls on to help her out of a difficult spot.
Mordecai – Mordecai is a thousand year old, English Sorcerer who puts himself in a deathly sleep spell (1000 years in the past) and finds Zandra and convinces her to wake him up. Once awake he immediately begins catching up and excelling in the modern world. He shares Zandra’s love of money, fame, and power and is in every way her equal, though she often finds him on the opposite side.
