An interesting twist on a ghost story, Absent is about a girl who awakens as a ghost after falling (being pushed?) off the roof of her school. She meets 2 other student ghosts and all 3 must stay within the school grounds. Paige (the newest ghost) wants to find out how she came to be dead and realizes that if someone is thinking about her she can take over their body and make them do what she wants them to. Ultimately she does find out what really happened and also finds a way to send the other ghosts and herself away from the school.
