But when a violent drunk collapses and is mistakenly declared dead, and an undertaker experimenting with strange embalming fluids meets the same fate, the earth refuses to keep their secrets buried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of it all is Sophie Sprague-fearful, isolated, and trapped beneath the shadow of her brutal brother Tom and the unwanted attentions of Henry Thorndike, the town's unsettling undertaker. When both men are laid to rest in a hurried double funeral, their passing stirs whispers through the town. Henry's dying plea-\"I am not dead… do not bury me!\"-is brushed aside. But that night, Sophie hears voices rising faintly from the burying-ground, voices that call her by name… voices that accuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, Johnny Dow, the simple-minded boy who assisted Henry, roams the graveyard claiming the dead are trying to speak-and that they are not done with Sophie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by Hazel Heald and H.
