What is The Haunted Lake about?

Jacob and his father fish Lake Spetzia, where a flooded village and cemetery lie hidden beneath the water. The villagers whisper that the lake is haunted, but Jacob refuses to leave the place where his mother rests. When Jacob falls in love with Ellen, their happiness is short-lived: ghostly spirits lure him below the surface and hold him captive. Years later, Ellen spots a light beneath the lake. Can Jacob escape the sunken village and return to the one who never stopped searching?
