It's Halloween weekend and Beacon Harbor, Michigan, has a packed
schedule of events, including the Pumpkin Pageant, featuring humans and
their canine counterparts. For treats, there's plenty of pumpkin
goodness from bakery/café owner and local lighthouse resident Lindsey
Bakewell. But someone wants to spoil the fun with a deadly trick . . .
Lindsey prefers to keep her bakeshop's Halloween decor light and
autumnal, rather than gruesome and ghoulish. But everyone knows her
lighthouse home is haunted. Some intrepid teens have even tried to break
in to witness the resident ghost themselves. Dreading Halloween night,
Lindsey reluctantly allows her influencer and podcaster best friend,
Kennedy, to host a live ghost-hunting investigation in the lighthouse,
conducted by a professional team. Protective of her ghost, Lyndsey is
understandably nervous about what they might uncover . . .
The segment is uneventful--until things take a terrifying turn. The team
freaks out. As Kennedy joins the mad dash outside, she bumps into what
looks like the prankster teens' creepy clown costume hanging from a
tree. But when Lindsey's dog, Wellington, begins to whine, they make a
grim discovery: the clown is no dummy. It's a corpse.
Now Lindsey and company will need to keep their cool if they want a
ghost of a chance to solve the murder--and see another Halloween . . .
