Bram Mathers is an average 17-year-old boy living in the rural town of McMinnville, Oregon. Bram’s trouble-free life disintegrates when he is possessed by Simeon, a fearless and determined young man who died during World War II. Bram’s troubles are further intensified when he again is possessed, this time by James, a shrewd and malicious being. Bram is abruptly thrown into a dangerous world where people are willing to betray and kill in order to gain power.
After Bram becomes possessed, he travels to downtown Portland. There he visits the Alliance, a safe haven for those who are hosts to uncorrupted souls. At the Alliance, Bram trains to become a Manumitter, a person who exorcises harmful spirits from those that are wrongly possessed. Bram must work hard to learn how to control his new psychic powers while dealing with the mental damage caused by being a multi-possessor.
Bram’s adventures drag him through the streets of Old Town Portland and the infamous underground Shanghai tunnels. Here Bram desperately fights to keep his sanity while attempting to save the lives of the people that he cares about. The question is can he protect them from both that which is dangerous on the outside, and that which is evil within himself?
I think this is the best summary I have seen. Even better than the query2 you sent me.
