Evangeline Hawthorne's rise to fame was anything but conventional. Catapulted into the spotlight as a pretty face with questionable talent, she unwittingly finds herself on a reality show in the haunt ed town of Fenwick. What begins as a standard filming set quickly spirals into chaos as the crew encounters real ghosts, leaving even the hardiest celebrities trembling in fear. However, amidst the horror, Evangeline's unique response to the supernatural events sets her apart.

With trolls lurking in the shadows and critics eager to see her fail, Evangeline must navigate treacherous waters filled with backstabbing rivals and hidden agendas while trying to maintain her sanity amidst the horrors of Fenwick. Will Evangeline's unflinching spirit and unconventional wisdom be enough to overcome the spectral dangers and industry pitfalls that threaten her newfound fame, or will she be left battling the ghosts of her own making? Prepare for a thrilling ride where every scream, every stumble, could be a turning point in her life—or her demise.
