Danica, a small town in Florida that was formed after the Civil War, is known for it's horrid history. What makes it worse is that the ghosts of its founders are still around looking for old confederate gold that they believe - if found - can bring them back to life. The Orphans (brought together by one linking fact Ð they are children of dead people) are a group of six kids with special skills. Led by Nikko - who can skip time and also has a weird connection with the dead - the friends find the cursed gold and have determined to keep it safe and secret. Yet they have a fierce battle brewing ahead against the likes of dead people, ghosts, and threats of kidnapping. People are dying in their town and this fact forces these fifth graders to take on a mystery that might very well make them the next victims, of the Curse of Danica.
