The Fog
The centennial of the small town of Antonio Bay, California has finally arrived. But something else has rolled into Antonio Bay as well. Events from the towns past have returned to threaten the tiny community.
One hundred years ago, a conspiracy of the town's founders resulted in the deaths of several lepers in a shipwreck. The conspirators had planned to lure the lepers' ship towards the rocks so that it would sink and they could recover the cargo of gold and use it to pay for the building of the town.
The sinister plot succeeded when a fog rolled in, blinding the crew and forcing them to follow the false fire on shore. Now the ghosts of the Elizabeth Dane's crew are back and so is the fog that led them to their doom. Only now, it conceals and protects the ghosts of the crew, as they seek their revenge on the residents of Antonio Bay.
