The Wellar family's mysterious disappearance was eighty years in the past, but the tale was once again attracting attention.

Unfortunately, when Shannon and her husband Robbie move to the town Gravel Flats for the summer, they become more involved with the house than planned. They will need the help of new friends, a little humor, a whole lot of luck and even a bit of other worldly inspiration when circumstances dictate that they have to solve the mystery.
