Lake 40
Some paths lead to enlightenment, others to madness. Dare to take the Lake 40 Challenge?
Detective Dom Dupont thought he had left the supernatural behind when he moved to the city of Everett, Washington. But when a gruesome scene at the Lake 40 Trailhead reveals a chilling connection to the disappearance of local college student Lily Chen, Dom is thrust into a world of rituals and strange forces.
Lily’s obsession with the occult and her cryptic journal documenting the Lake 40 Challenge—a local urban legend promising supernatural revelations—pulls Dom deeper into the darkness. As he uncovers the terrifying truths behind the challenge, he must confront the blurred lines between reality and the unknown.
With the help of his partner, Lauren Kim, Dom strives to solve the mystery and protect those around him. But every step closer to the truth brings them nearer to a sinister fate.
