Description: A group of city dwellers have arrived on the island of Skerra to view the local lighthouse, which is up for sale. What they don't know, is that all who set foot in this lighthouse are cursed, and before the night is out, they will have swapped their superficial city problems for an altogether bigger dilemma - how to escape from the malevolent presence that is stalking them.
