Stranded on the beaches off Oracle Island, teen detective Jack watches the sun and moon inch closer together, wondering if redemption is enough to keep moving forward. As he sits beside a freshly dug grave, the voice of an annoying private eye only he can hear continues to narrate...
'It's an old sayin', every story got at least two sides. Opposite usually, sure, but it don't mean one gotta be good as an angel or evil as a demon. The line that separates them can be as thin as a two-dollar steak in a New Jersey diner. I got a habit of crossing lines and it comes at a bigger cost. I got one dame madder at me than a hatter running out of tea. And another... well, we lost big when we lost her. The Christmas Spirit is dead. And because of me, we're left stuck, watchin' the coming eclipse countdown to the end, where the line between life and afterlife fades faster than a dream's details. A line I was forced to watch that Grim Reaper dance on.'
In this fifth and final case of the who-done-it-styled holiday mystery series, young spirit detective Jack will lead a demonic ex-Christmas symbol, an imaginary friend allergic to sunlight, and the journalist partner he betrayed on a maddening march across the afterlife. Cold case clues from Old Man Winter and riddles from a fortune teller must all be solved and deciphered while transported through blended worlds. The teenage detective will uncover the origins of Halloween's Great Pumpkin, dodge an unlucky genie's jinx, and dig up the roots of his family tree until eventually unearthing his rock bottom. Unintentionally, he'll find ways to dig himself into deeper holes, but through investigation, he will discover a little light can provide all the hope needed to find a better path. Equipped with his gifted flashlight and loyal pup in a race to find the Altar of Angels, he will search for the Being who can stand against Father Time. Yet the question persists, will it be enough, or must he accept burying more loved ones like his father?
