Widow’s Bay Story
There is something mysterious hidden beneath the surface. Mayor Tom Loftis (played by Rhys Darby) is struggling to improve the island (town), which has no Wi-Fi and a very poor phone signal. Many locals believe the place is cursed.
Tom wants the townspeople to respect him, but they don’t. They see him as weak and cowardly, which he is in many ways. However, Tom is determined to create a better life for his teenage son and turn the island into a tourist spot.
At first, he succeeds, as his plan works and tourists start visiting the island. But soon, things take a dark turn. Strange events begin to happen again after many years of peace, proving locals’ old stories might actually be true.
