Annotation:
Toronto’s historic Gibraltar Point Lighthouse is the scene of this chilling and fast moving ghost story. Gabe has his first summer job spinning tale of Rebecca Strand’s tragic death for tourists, who eat it up! But of course, it’s all a show. That is, until Rebecca awakens and reveals her murderer, the evil spirit of Nicolas Viker has merely been sleeping all these centuries and is ready to regain power. Gabe must join forces with his techie best friend Yuri, a ghost blogger Callie, Rebecca, and a swarm of specters to save both the living and the dead from Viker’s insatiable appetites.
