Sometimes the past is best left buried...

The Deep South, 1847. A lowly gravedigger, Fredrick (Christian S. Anderson), struggles to provide for his family. At the urging of his wife Elizabeth (Alison Gallaher), Fredrick steals a recently buried corpse to sell to the local medical college for anatomy study. Setting off in his horse-drawn wagon on a journey through the dark woods, Fredrick quickly realizes that the dead man has other plans. Terrorized by supernatural happenings, Fredrick is at the mercy of an angry ghost as it reveals its chilling story. And the nightmare won't stop until retribution is found.
