What is Lockwood & Co about?

Officially, per the synopsis, the plot of Lockwood & Co is as follows:

“In London, where the most gifted teenage ghost-hunters venture nightly into perilous combat with deadly spirits, amidst the many corporate, adult-run agencies, one stands alone: independent of any commercial imperative or adult supervision – a tiny startup, run by two teenage boys and a newly arrived, supremely psychically gifted girl, a renegade trio destined to unravel a mystery that will change the course of history: Lockwood & Co.”

The show is based on the award-winning book series by Jonathan Stroud that started in 2013 and will bring the tale to life over the course of eight episodes.

In the books, Anthony Lockwood was an orphan from a young age and went on to found Lockwood & Co. He’s determined, a leader and has the ability of supernatural sight, meaning he can see spirits around him. At his side is his trusted and sometimes cynical partner George, who is the more academically gifted of the pair. Lucy is fierce and quick-tempered, but able to gain psychic senses through touch.
