Every theatre has ghosts. Harborlight has receipts.
Director Elliot Vale returns to Harborlight Theatre expecting the usual tech-week disasters: impossible personalities, backstage politics, and opening-night chaos.
Then the prop table changes.
The knife sits on the letter mark. The letter sits on the candle mark. The candle sits on the key mark. The key sits on the glass mark. The glass sits on the gun mark.
And where the knife should be, there is a tooth.
A real one.
As opening night approaches, Elliot is drawn into the twenty-year-old disappearance of Adrian Bell, a young actor the theatre has spent decades trying to forget. With the help of stage manager Mara Bell and former almost-love Theo Mercer, Elliot begins uncovering a history of silence, corruption, and buried truth inside the beloved community theatre.
In Harborlight, the ghosts are real.
They just aren't dead.
