Plot summary
The Presleys buy a large, cheap, abandoned house. Kevin, the youngest, comes across a ghost in the attic who has driven off other intruders, and films him. The ghost cannot speak and does not remember his past life; his bowling shirt reads Ernest, so Kevin calls him that. Kevin sets out to help Ernest recover his past, hoping it will bring him peace. A video of Ernest goes online and turns Kevin into a social media sensation overnight. Kevin joins forces with Joy, his neighbor at high school, and the two hunt for clues to who Ernest was. Their search draws the attention of the CIA.
