Ocean Park is the local dead mall where Aqua Moore is doomed to spend her summer vacation. She thinks she's going there to model for the local boutique owners, but behind all of the retro interior and sleepy department stores, there are a few details that seem to defy the laws of physics. Like whole rooms of merchandise disappearing overnight. Or the sound of what could only be a pod of killer whales moving through the walls. Aqua finds all of this superstition pretty funny until the day a customer shows up dead. Suddenly no one is laughing and the phantoms in the walls don't seem all that strange. Things get complicated when it turns out the person who found the body is the same boy that Aqua is crushing on, Sean Mori. Somehow Sean knew the exact time, date, and location of the victim's death before it all even happened. Aqua wants to believe that Sean isn't the murdering type, but things are starting to get a little too weird too fast. The more time she spends with Sean, the more she understands the burden he's been forced to bear. And the ghosts that haunt the mall begin to take on a new meaning. *content warnings: graphic death and light gore*
