The Lake is set in a Scottish Castle holding their inaugural ghost hunting weekend. When people start to die, some people wonder if supernatural events are at play.
Still waters hide dark secrets …
A remote Scottish lake
The guests arriving at Creaglie Castle are expecting discreet luxury, panoramic views, and perhaps a glimpse of one of its infamous ghosts.
No means of escape
When a violent storm severs all contact with the mainland, it’s not the spirits they need to fear…
Trust no one
As the past resurfaces and trust vanishes, it’s clear that not everyone will be leaving Creaglie Castle alive.
Will The Lake give up its secrets, before somebody else dies?
