Wednesday was expelled from school after releasing piranhas into the school pool to get back at her brother Pugsley's bullies. Wednesday's parents, Morticia and Gomez, decided to send their daughter to Nevermore Academy, where they once studied.
For several generations, the school has raised children with a variety of abilities: those with telekinesis, those who can bring images to life, as well as werewolves, sirens, gorgons, and other outcasts.
Perfect company for Wednesday, who has only recently begun to display psychic abilities. However, the sudden disappearance of a Nevermore student forces her to investigate.
Wednesday believes her classmate was killed by a dangerous monster that lives in the area surrounding the school. The investigation will lead her to unravel not only the mystery of the monster, but also the secrets of the Addams family's dark history that her parents have kept from Wednesday her entire life.
