Four 15 year old boys join a secret anti-terrorist association, who hunt down terrorists for a living. Now they must protect the streets of Seattle from a pernicious terrorist and his nefarious army of agents before it?s too late.
Your logline is a bit long, but then the second half of the first sentence is superfluous. The name anti-terrorist association already tells me what they do.

Wandering spirit sounds to me like a ghost. So, the accident is fatal? If that's the case and she's dead, how is she supposed to "learn her lesson" in the end?

Interesting, but no… and a little yes.
I like the idea that it’s an alternate universe which looks like our own, but where everybody sing and dance. I’m also playing around with the notion that all musicals, both stage and movies, are like a window into this other universe. And then for maximum conflict send a person through that would absolutely hate it in that universe.
He will happen on showstoppers in progress, avoid places where he notices people happen to be singing in, and then of course people will burst into song around him and he will feel awkward and cringe a lot… at first.
But in a good story the protagonist needs to transform over the course of the story, at least according to what I’ve learned. So eventuallly he will grow to like it and even join in.
But there is a yes to your idea, as well. You gave me an idea for the third act!
By the time he changes and bursts into song himself he has, without knowing it, been sent back to his/our own universe and when he starts to sing and dance at the accounting firm everybody thinks he has gone crazy. I think I may even have the entire third act ? not just this, but I know roughly how it all works out.
