Ghosts are haunting the woods of Ontario and Alice Wimbley – avid ghost hunter and disgruntled Tim Hortons employee - is going to prove it!

Armed with her recorders and a crew consisting of her skeptical friend, her sardonic sister and her paranormally-inclined cousin, Alice boldly treks into the deep forest determined to get the spirits on tape. She’s finally found the perfect place to investigate when suddenly a terrified deer hunter bursts on the scene. 

There’s definitely something strange and scary in these woods, but Alice and her friends are about to find more than they bargained for. This adventure turns up few ghosts but lots of laughs.

A sharp and spirited new comedy, suitable for a general audience.
