Matt Simmons has two weeks left of summer before starting grade six. He
wants to enjoy that time with his best friends, Danny and Emma, but has
to include his younger cousin Adam who is visiting. Trapped on a sandbar
in the middle of the night, Matt and Adam see a ghostly, burning
schooner before a silent old man rescues them. Matt is determined to
unravel the mystery and reluctantly lets Adam join in. With Danny and
Emma, they visit Danny's grandpa, a retired sea captain. He warns them
to leave the ghosts and mysteries of the sea alone, but the four friends
ignore him. Setting out on a midnight boat trip to find the phantom
ship, even little Adam proves a useful part of the team. But how
dangerous is the ship, and who else is lurking in the waters of the
Northumberland Strait?
