"Beware the Shores."
In the mid-1960s, within the small town of Mermaid Lagoon, stayers at a seaside hotel experience strange phenomena. People disappeared mysteriously, leaving their rooms without a trace, their luggage untouched and left where they belonged.
Townsfolk strongly believed that the hotel was cursed by a creature of local legend. A building of darkness and secrecy with halls echoing pain and sorrow... After a thunderstorm rages across the coast of the Lagoon, stayers become trapped within the gates of the hotel with no hope of escape. Terror and panic arise upon the discovery of a body among them.
Is it the cruelty of the mythical mermaid or ... Is there more to the story than just mere superstition?
