A shadow in a field. A string of disappearances. The beginning of the end. West Virginia, 1956. Seventeen-year-old Alice Peters wants to graduate, leave the small coal town she's grown up in, and see the world. Instead, she's forced to quit school and support herself as the first female miner in Springwater history. But when miners begin to disappear, production halts. And Alice is blamed for jinxing the entire operation. Something is haunting the depths of the mountain and the mists of the valley. The mine has a secret. And it's not of this world or the next.
