They are examining the story of a star-crossed love affair involving a prominent mining family that ended in a rumored murder more than fifty years ago. Along with the arrival of the film crew, a recently discovered skeleton in a nearby mine revives the old mystery and the town is abuzz with speculation.

But when a string of strange events threatens to sabotage the production, it appears someone doesn't want Sadie or the film crew digging into the story. Who is behind the sabotage? Why is someone so afraid of the truth getting out?
