Sherif John Gaines is called down to the riverside to supervise the uncovering of a body of a teenage girl. It is Nancy Denton, who had walked into the woods after a teenage party in 1954, never to be seen again. Now she's back, horribly mutilated in the style of voodoo magic. Nancy's discovery sets a new chain of events into motion. A new series of deaths begin and Gaines begins to wonder two things: what really took Nancy that summer night? And what new evil has been released by digging her up?
