Ghost Bride tells the story of Jason Chen, a young Chinese immigrant in New Zealand who keeps his love for Kiwi girl Skye secret from his disapproving mother, Alice. Things quickly unravel as his mother introduces him to Madam Yin, a matchmaker who has a very special bride in mind for Jason -- The mysterious and silent May Ling. May Ling is a paragon of the traditional Chinese bride; beautiful, subservient, and eager to please. Unbeknownst to Jason, May Ling is also dead. In this dark supernatural romance Jason finds himself caught up in the ancient Chinese practice of Minghūn: a spirit marriage. Skye's presence as a rival for Jason's affections turns May Ling from seductress into a spirit of vengeance, and May Ling seeks to destroy Skye, wreak vengeance on Jason's family, and force him into joining her for eternity.
