After waking up on the shore of Moon Lake, Eleanor Thorburn discovers she's dead and trapped on Earth as a ghost. With no knowledge of how or why, Eleanor must navigate her way through the spirit world and her past in order to move on.

The Hauntess of Moon Lake incorporates elements of fantasy, spiritualism, and classic Gothic horror. It's about discovering, facing, and releasing the trauma we carry through our lives so that we may unburden ourselves from the past and move forward in peace.
