Former nun Christine Bennett can't wait to attend the christening of her friend Maddie's baby but feels a chill when she hears it's taking place in a town that no longer exists. Studsburg has an extraordinary history. Thirty years ago, it was evacuated by the government and flooded to create a reservoir. Maddie was the last child baptized there. But new drought has uncovered the town's forgotten church -- along with a gruesome discovery. For down in the dank church basement, Christine stumbles upon the skeletal remains of a body -- the grim result of a thirty-year old murder. While local officials take advantage of the flood of publicity surrounding the case, Christine takes matters into her own hands -- trying to piece to together what turns out to be a sordid puzzle from the past. But unraveling the dark secrets of the once close-knit community of Studsburg also reveals a killer who's not afraid to kill again....
