Synopsis: Since deserted Rain Island is forbidden because of its treacherous, rocky coast and reputation of sorrow and mystery, sixteen-year-old Elizabeth thinks it's the perfect place to go to avoid her sneering older brother, sniveling younger sister and bickering parents. As she continues to investigate the island, her family situation gets worse and her feelings for a local boy blossom. Among the rocks and moss, she unearths a ruin of a cabin, inhabited by the ghosts of a sickly young girl and a lonely woman. Though she is both sickened and terrified by the restless spirits from long ago, Elizabeth is also curious and determined to do more than watch helplessly as the ghostly tragedy and that of her family, unfolds.
