In the aftermath of his father's death, Henry Fletcher's senior year takes a bizarre turn, uncannily resembling the trials of Shakespeare's Prince of Denmark. With the help of some spectral guides, Henry embarks on a journey of self-discovery amidst the tumult of high school drama. As he grapples with grief and existential conundrums, Henry learns to navigate the complexities of his own narrative, drawing strength from the timeless wisdom of Shakespeare's words and the ghosts of his past.
