They thought they''d buried their secrets
Homicide inspector Gavin Cain is standing by a grave when he gets the call. Cain knows there''s something terrible in the coffin they''re about to exhume. He and his team have received a dying man''s confession and it has led them here.

But death doesn''t guarantee silence
Cain is summoned by Mayor Castelli, who has been sent sinister photographs of a woman that he claims he doesn''t know and a note threatening that worse are on their way.

And now light will be shone on a very dark place...
As Cain tries to identify the woman in the pictures, and looks into the mayor''s past, he finds himself being drawn towards a situation as horrifying and as full of secrets as the grave itself.
