Sarah McKinley's fascination with American history began at a very early age. Living in St. Augustine, Florida, where history stretches over 400 years is a major contributor to her interest. She's just purchased and started renovations on the old mortuary house in Old Town, where she not only works but spent her childhood. She's always loved the house and now she's getting the opportunity to turn it into a bed and breakfast, so she can share its beauty with not only the locals but tourists as well. With the last wall being torn down, the construction crew makes a startling discovery; the wall is stuffed with dozens of human remains still intact. This finding dredges up the history of the past owners of the house and the missing girls during their time.
