The couple then researches the deaths at the hotel and soon learn about a dark family secret of hers, an unsolved murder more than a century old.

Through various means, the dark spirit takes over and possess the protagonist's new boyfriend. Unknown to the couple, a second spirit, the great-grandmother of the protagonist, is being held against her will by the same evil spirit that is possessing her new beau. The more fear the couple has, the more energy the dark spirit gains.

It becomes a race against time as the spirits entangle once again, in their new bodies to complete the unfinished business of a century earlier. Who will solve the murder mystery and will another murder occur at the posh hotel or will love win all this time around?

    Creative Notes:
    This is the original. I want to make some changes so I can shoot it myself on a low budget. As it stands right now, it's set for a seaside 4 star hotel by the beach making it a bit pricey to shoot.
