Jessa and Jenny Allen have made the most of their isolated life as daughters of the village gravedigger since their mother left the family ten years before. They’ve discovered the Boneyard, a ghostly realm where the spirits of villagers past keep them company once their bodies have been exhumed and their bones prepared for interment. When their father leaves home for an annual trip, the girls discover a grisly secret: that their mother did not leave, but was murdered.

With the help of their ghostly friends and with their mother’s vengeful spirit urging them on, the sisters must determine who is responsible for this crime and how they will hold the perpetrator accountable. After a failed appeal to the village from which they have been outcast, Jessa and Jenny are faced with the truth that only they will be able to decide what justice means in this case and determine how to achieve it. As the murderer’s path crosses theirs and a violent confrontation looms, they will need all of the skills they have acquired in a lifetime of isolated endurance to not only find justice for their mother’s death, but to survive themselves.
