Kate Cypher returns to her rural Vermont hometown and finds a horrific new murder mirroring the cold-case killing of her childhood friend.
When thirty-one-year-old school nurse Kate Cypher returns to her isolated Vermont hometown to care for her mother suffering from Alzheimer's, a shocking crime shatters the quiet community. A local girl is found brutally murdered in the woods, killed in the exact manner as Kate's childhood friend Del, who was murdered thirty years earlier in 1971.
Del, known locally as "Potato Girl," was a strange, outcast child whose death spawned sinister urban legends. As Kate revisits haunting childhood memories and investigates the past, she realizes Del's killer is still at large and protecting a dark small-town secret.
