Whispers Beneath the Crimson Moon

On the remote coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, lies a forgotten fishing village abandoned decades ago after a string of mysterious disappearances. Locals whisper about a curse—how the sea itself claimed the souls of those who lingered too long on its cliffs. No one dares to go near the crumbling lighthouse that stands as the last sentinel of the dead town.

But when Amara, a fearless marine biologist searching for rare phosphorescent algae, receives a letter from her late grandmother hinting at secrets buried beneath the village, she sets out to uncover the truth. Her grandmother had once loved a man from that coast, a man who vanished without explanation. Amara believes finding answers there may also help her understand her own haunting dreams—dreams of drowning, voices in the water, and a pair of hands pulling her from the abyss.

Her guide is Rowan, a rugged diver who knows the dangerous waters better than anyone. He carries scars—both physical and emotional—from surviving a shipwreck years ago, one he claims was no accident. Though reluctant to return to the village, Rowan is drawn to Amara’s determination and something unexplainable in her presence—like he’s met her before in another life.

As they explore the decaying town, the line between love and terror blurs. Every night under the crimson moon, they hear whispers rising from the sea, as if the ocean itself is alive. Shadows crawl along the walls of the lighthouse. Villagers long dead appear at the edge of sight, their hollow eyes watching.

Amara discovers that the village was not merely abandoned—it was consumed. Generations ago, the townsfolk made a pact with a sea entity known as The Drowned King, binding their souls to the tide for eternal prosperity. When they broke the pact, the entity cursed them to wander the shore as restless phantoms. Amara’s grandmother’s lover was one of those sacrificed—and his spirit has been calling to Amara through bloodline dreams, seeking release.

But the horror deepens when Amara realizes she herself is tied to the curse. Her blood carries the seal that can either set the spirits free or bind them forever. The ocean wants her—her soul, her love, her life.

Rowan, torn between protecting her and surrendering to the strange fate that ties them, refuses to let her go alone into the abyss. Their love grows fierce amid terror, each kiss a rebellion against the darkness that surrounds them. But the deeper their bond, the stronger the Drowned King’s pull becomes, feeding on their passion.

As the final crimson moon rises, Amara and Rowan must descend into the black waters beneath the lighthouse, where the entity waits. There, in the drowned ruins of the village, they confront the choice between sacrificing their love to end the curse—or embracing eternal darkness together.

Their last embrace could either save them—or damn them forever.
