Nobody Owens’ parents were brutally murdered by the Man Jack, but their toddler escaped to the graveyard across the street. Now Nobody Owen has become the one living resident of this graveyard, which is full of adventures and intrigues. He can’t leave the graveyard, because the dead protect him from the man Jack and his associates in the Jacks of All Trades secret society. 

Bod, as he is known to the ghosts and other monsters who reside in the graveyard, is the only one who can defeat the Jacks and destroy their secret society. As Bod grows up, he gains abilities and powers, but eventually finds himself confronted to the Jacks in a desert land hidden beyond the graveyard. Bod and his allies are the only ones who can stop the Jacks once and for all, but will they be successful?
