Danielle and her family arrive at an old Edwardian Inn in Harbor, Oregon to look at Northwest Coast real estate that her mother wants to buy at a “steal” of a price. Harbor seems to be a ghost town. Mrs. Applebaum, the owner of the Inn, says the town’s been like that since 1904. She’s one of the only people anywhere about except for occasional tourists like Danielle’s family. Why? Mrs. Applebaum is very close-lipped. Danielle sees a dark-haired girl in a cigar-shaped canoe out on the ocean. But she disappears before Danielle can speak to her. At night a bonfire appears on the beach. She thinks she sees other teenagers sitting around it. When she tries to join them there is nothing there. Even the fire has gone out without leaving a trace. As she stands there on the beach with the big waves that crash ashore a mysterious light from the sea shoots its beams toward the shore nearly blinding her. What is going on in Harbor, Oregon? To find out the answer might cost Danielle her own life.
