Widow's Bay

The mayor tries to turn his small island town into a tourist destination…which is hard to do when the entire place is cursed.

Mayor Tom Loftis wants to turn his struggling, New England island town into a thriving tourist attraction. But some residents believe Widow’s Bay is cursed, and his efforts to boost it are stirring up its otherworldly forces. Tom is thwarted by his staff’s bumbling ineptitude and a series of supernatural encounters that shake his confidence. As the skeptical mayor slowly becomes a believer, he works to break the curse in which any island-born natives die if they leave for the mainland.
