The Original Story
(this is Bohbot's original story synopsis)

Ten years after clearing out every malcontent ghost and goblin in New York City, the Ghostbusters have disbanded. The ECTO-1 is gathering dust , the old Firehouse headquarters is quiet, and all the guys have left town -- except Egon, now huddled in front of a computer screen, battling program bugs instead of spooks.

But now after a decade of quiet, the supernatural is rearing its ugly ectoplasmic head again, and Manhattan is overrun with ghosts bent on mayhem and malevolent fun. New York needs the Ghostbusters. But the Ghostbusters are gone...or are they.

It's up to the Ghostbusters' plucky secretary Janine -- now teaching history at a local college -- to recruit a new team to fill the Ghostbusters' Ecto-Visors and Slime-Repellent Boots. Short on time and more than a little desperate, Janine turns to four of her teenaged students: Kylie, a girl genius with a head full of incantations and occult knowledge; Eduardo, a hip, cynical slacker with a dream of running in the Olympics and a serious crush on Kylie; Lucas, a wheelchair-bound young athlete with a hair-trigger temper; and Roland, a clumsy but good-hearted "gentle-giant" who's a whiz with machinery.

Along with the Ghostbusters' old pal Slimer and a mischievous new goblin called Gnat, Janine and the kids set up shop in the firehouse, where they arm themselves with PKE meters, nuclear powered Proton Pack blasters, and everything else they'll need (refurbished with the help of Egon) to treat a new generation of ghosts to a Proton Pack roast!

The Ghostbusters are back, with the latest technology and a hip new attitude. But the latest crop of phantoms, ghouls, and boogiemen is tougher than ever, so our heros have to be, too!

Extreme ghosts call for...

Extreme Ghostbusters!
