In a small town in Maine, the life of a young man named Jeff crumbles after the tragic death of his mother. After moving in with his struggling filmmaker father, Jeff feels completely out of place in his new home. His attempts to adjust to his new school are challenging, especially when he crosses paths with the enigmatic and energetic Drew, a girl who also carries her own burden of pain. The two young people form an unexpected bond, but the dark legacy of the neighboring land—a curious cemetery that has the power to bring the dead back to life—threatens to ruin everything.
When the life of a nearby dog ends brutally, Jeff and Drew find themselves drawn to the tempting yet dangerous idea of using the old cemetery. What seems like an easy solution soon becomes a slippery slope, as the beings that return to life are not necessarily as we remember them. With anguish reigning and forces of evil at play, the teenagers must face the consequences of playing with death. Confronted with desperation, madness, and horror, Jeff and Drew learn that some separations are meant to be permanent. The story becomes a chilling exploration of loss, love, and the dark side of the obsession to keep loved ones by our side, no matter the cost.
