A boy mistaken for a girl infiltrates an all-girls cosplay camp, teaming up with a dramatic teen detective to unravel supernatural conspiracies—and his own identity.

Synopsis

Harper Wattson endures relentless bullying for his feminine looks—until a paperwork mix-up lands him at an all-girls cosplay summer camp. There, he’s swept into the orbit of eccentric genius Wilhelmina "Whim" Manor, a teenage detective with a flair for dramatic disguises and dismantling conspiracies. Armed with wigs, deductive reasoning, and sheer audacity, the duo infiltrates secret societies, exposes corporate corruption, and battles supernatural threats lurking beneath the camp’s cheerful facade. But as Harper navigates this world of glitter and subterfuge, he grapples with deeper questions of identity, belonging, and the masks everyone wears. Between dodging Whim’s chaotic schemes and confronting his own insecurities, Harper must decide: is he playing a role, or finally becoming himself?
