Features: After experiencing trauma from a divorce, attorney Emily leaves Manhattan and comes to the Spring Lake town. She buys an old Victorian-style house at the seaside resort. The house is actually the ancestral home of Emily's family, which was sold in 1892 due to the disappearance of her family at the time. Emily renovates the house and, while digging a swimming pool, discovers a skeleton. It is confirmed to be the young woman who disappeared in the resort a few years ago. To everyone's surprise, her hand is clutching the finger of another woman, wearing a ring from Emily's family. Why would a body from over a hundred years ago be buried together? Why did three women who disappeared in the last century all die alongside the beautiful girl of today? Is it a cross-century curse, or has the serial killer returned? To uncover the truth behind two cross-century crimes, Emily goes to great lengths, but she may become the next victim—After experiencing trauma from a divorce, attorney Emily leaves Manhattan and comes to the Spring Lake town.
