The Tide

 **Title:** *The Tide*

**Plot:**

A small coastal town is haunted by the tragic legend of a young boy, Noah, who drowned in the turbulent sea over a decade ago. The town was never the same after his death. Fishermen claimed to have seen his face in the waters, and families warned their children to stay away from the beach after dark.

The story begins with a group of teenagers—Jake, Emily, and their friends—visiting the coastal area for a weekend getaway. They’ve heard the ghost stories but laugh them off as local superstition. However, on the first night, strange things start happening. The sound of the waves seems to whisper Noah’s name, and an eerie fog rolls in from the sea, obscuring their vision.

Jake, the youngest in the group, begins to have terrifying dreams of a boy standing in the water, calling for help. He sees flashes of Noah’s face, pale and waterlogged, his eyes full of rage. As Jake gets drawn closer to the water, he learns that Noah wasn’t just a victim of the sea—he was sacrificed.

The townspeople, desperate to protect their own children, had made a dark pact with the ocean. Every ten years, the sea demands a young life to keep the town safe from violent storms and destruction. Noah was the last offering, and now the time has come for the ocean to claim another soul. Jake, unknowingly, has been chosen.

As the group tries to escape, the sea itself turns against them. Waves rise unnaturally, trapping them in the town. Mysterious figures appear on the shore, whispering about "the boy who returned." The group realizes that Noah’s spirit isn’t just haunting them—he’s seeking revenge on those who let him die.

In the chilling climax, Jake must confront Noah's vengeful spirit at the same spot where he drowned. To break the curse, Jake has to uncover the truth about Noah’s death and either make a new pact with the ocean or sacrifice himself to end the cycle forever.

**Ending:** 

Jake manages to speak with Noah’s spirit, learning that the boy only wanted to be remembered, not forgotten as a pawn in the town’s dark secrets. Jake promises to reveal the truth, but the ocean won’t let him leave easily. In a heart-pounding final scene, Jake is pulled underwater, but whether he survives or becomes the next victim remains a haunting mystery. The film ends with a shot of the calm sea, hinting at the ongoing curse and leaving the audience wondering if Jake managed to escape or if the ocean claimed its prize once again.
