Deep in the Georgia woods, Dr Sara Linton and Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver stumble across the body of a young girl. Initial evidence suggests that she was buried alive and, quite literally, scared to death.

Troubled by their own turbulent past, Sara and Jeffrey must work together to identify the killer and prevent another death.

The trail will soon lead to the neighbouring county, an isolated community, and a terrible secret...
