The narrative centers around Wednesday Addams. Wednesday is suspended from high school because she throws live piranhas in the school pool when the guys' water polo team is training, as vengeance for the team tormenting her brother Pugsley. This prompts her parents, Morticia Addams and Gomez, to enroll her at Vermont's Nevermore Academy, a school for truly monstrous outcasts that they also formerly attended.

Wednesday struggles to connect with her classmates because of her icy, emotionless personality and stubborn disposition, which leads her to get in trouble with the school's principal. She learns, however, that she possesses psychic powers, which enable her to crack a supernatural murder mystery.
