“You believe in them, and they’ll make damn sure you never stop.”
Grieving and adrift after her mother’s death, Miriam accepts an invitation from her childhood best friend, Clara, to escape to the fog-shrouded town of Lasker’s Cove. But the coastal town offers no solace—Clara disappears her first night there, leaving behind only a burned symbol scorched into her bedroom floor and a cryptic journal chronicling an unsettling fascination with the fog.
As Miriam digs deeper, she uncovers the town’s chilling history of vanishings tied to ghostly orbs of light—deadlights—that haunt the misty coastline. The locals won’t talk, but Miriam finds an ally in Cal, a grizzled fisherman whose own life was shattered by the deadlights when they claimed his best friend, Eddie. Cal warns her that the lights don’t just hunt bodies; they unravel memories, strip identities, and leave nothing but hollow echoes in their wake.
Amidst the dangerous fog, she discovers Wraith, the fractured and unfathomable being at the center of the deadlights’ power. It promises what she’s lost—her friend, her mother, her past—but at a terrible price: her identity. With time unraveling and the deadlights closing in, Miriam must decide whether to sever the fog’s grip on the town, even if it means losing the last fragile connection to those she loves.
