Forty years ago it was not the two murders that shocked the town but rather who the killer was. Consumed by shame and guilt, the population of Westport turned their backs on the embarrassment and hoped everything would soon go away. However, what was buried had not been put to rest or given closure and so, like a nightmare, the graves eventually opened up.
Ultimately the abandoned land that hid the graves became overgrown and lost to the ravages of time. Forty years later the secret graves were now under a park where children played. Surprisingly, none of the children dared to go near a tree in the middle of the park, claiming to all who would listen that it was haunted.
On a warm sunny morning, while out for a relaxing canoe ride in Westport Bay, three women discovered a horror that would open up those lost graves. It was the wisdom and tenacity of Beth Palmer, a rookie police officer who eventually discovered the town's shame. She was the only one who believed what the children were saying about a black ghost living in a tree in the park.
Dark and secret basements concealing murder victims, a rotted house and what ultimately crawled out of the grave combined to become a deadly nightmare for Beth Palmer.
