Just because it's dead doesn't mean it's allowed to rest...

A small southern town surrounded by a living cemetery was the last place Sam Everett expected to find himself after the sudden death of his wife. Desperate to get away from the city and its memories, Sam flees to the tight-knit community of Maylene's Hollow.

Except the Hollow holds a secret. The town won't allow its dead to rest. Forced to wander the earth for hundreds of years, the denizens of the woods have had enough.

With the help of a mysterious widow who may also be a murderer, the town's matriarch who seems to possess magical abilities, and an ornery giant who believes the dead may be right to rebel, Sam must learn to let go of the dead in order to truly live.
