Everyone in Painters Mill knows the abandoned Hochstetler
farm is haunted. But only a handful of the residents
remember the terrible secrets lost in the muted/hushed
whispers of time—and now death is stalking them, seemingly
from the grave.
On a late-night shift, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is
called to the scene of an apparent suicide—an old man found
hanging from the rafters in his dilapidated barn. But
evidence quickly points to murder and Kate finds herself
chasing a singularly difficult and elusive trail of
evidence that somehow points back to the tragedy of that
long ago incident. Meanwhile, Kate has moved in with state
agent John Tomasetti and for the first time in so long,
they're both happy; a bliss quickly shattered when one of
the men responsible for the murders of Tomasetti’s family
four years ago is found not guilty, and walks away a free
man. Will Tomasetti be pulled back to his own haunted past?
When a second man is found dead—also seemingly by his own
hand—Kate discovers a link in the case that sends the
investigation in a direction no one could imagine and
revealing the horrifying truth of what really happened that
terrible night 35 years ago, when an Amish father and his
four children perished—and his young wife disappeared
without a trace.
