Dr. Dan Rice, with his marriage in dissolution and his son incarcerated, is trapped in a conservative Northwest college which he believes is unsuitable for a modern, literary man of his sensibilities. Listless and incendiary, he becomes infatuated with Suzanne Lacy, another teacher on the faculty. Suzanne, a victim of child sexual abuse, is a loner and rebuffs his repeated attempts at courtship. Finally, having exhausted all conventional means of pursuit, on a cold, autumn evening he sedates her with ether and imprisons her in a bomb shelter in his basement. When he learns that he has terminal brain cancer, he is in a dilemma about what to do with Suzanne. He can't free her to expose him, yet he is reluctant to let her starve to death in the bomb shelter as his health deteriorates. Suzanne finds unexpected love in a dark adventure which, in it's wake, leaves a trail of death. The victims are deposited in Spirit Lake where, according to an Indian legend, bodies buried in the lake haunt their captors in dreams and in the afterlife. Spirit lake is a chilling tale of obsession, love and murder.
