Plot※

For Spencer Wright, a 14-year-old budding filmmaker, Beverly Heights is the——ultimate thrill ride. But, being the "new kid at a high school populated by Hollywood royalty," he's an outsider with no ticket in. He's the kind of kid who gets his allowance in cash, not stock options; finding himself amid all this bling and "stardom is intimidating." Luckily, he's got an all-access pass in the form of his best friend, the ghost of pop star Billy Joe Cobra.

Characters※

• Spencer Wright (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) - Spencer is the 14-year-old protagonist of the series. He is a budding filmmaker and makes his own amateur films on a regular basis. He aspires——to be, a famous film director. Spencer is a particular fan of horror films, with nearly all of his own homemade films having——to do with either zombies, serial killers, demons,/monsters in some way. Spencer wears a blue guitar pick necklace that used to belong to Billy in order to see him. Because he is fairly new to Beverly Heights and is very different from the norm (in that he isn't wealthy, trendy, or the 'Hollywood type') he clashes with many people at his school and has garnered a number of enemies (Principal Ponzi, Lolo, and Kleet) although he receives help dealing with them from Billy. Likewise, Spencer helps Billy by protecting him from his enemies, like Madame X and Hoover. He also normally has to help solve problems caused by Billy as well, mostly pertaining to the effects of his ectoplasm and/or general antics.
• Billy Joe Cobra (voiced by Darren Foreman) - He is a funny, mischievous ghost and best friend of Spencer, as well as his distant relative/cousin. Before he died, he was an extremely famous pop star. And is still very popular posthumously. He can not be seen. Or heard by others unless they wear a personal item that belonged to him before his death (for example, the necklace worn by Spencer). Billy's personality consists of both a bro-centric best friend and a stereotypical narcissistic celebrity. He tries to help Spencer with his films and more to fit into life in Hollywood, although many of his efforts usually cause more problems. He often describes his days as a rock star, in which it is shown that he was extremely difficult to work with (showing up to a video shoot 2 days late and refusing to perform. Because he didn't like the camera man's jeans), loved to trash hotel rooms and wreck music video shoots, and treated his crew and staff horribly. He can also be somewhat temperamental, especially when someone insults him or his music. Nearly every one of Billy's songs involve him singing about how much he loves himself or how much everyone else loves him ("I'm Still in Love with Me", "I Am the Sunshine of My Life", "You Love Me, I Love Me More", etc.) although sometimes they are about things related to stereotypically extravagant lifestyles ("Big Yachts and Money"). Billy is extremely wealthy: possessing custom limo, several private jets, planes, and yachts, a pet crocodile, and the large mansion that Spencer's family now live in.
