A call from the dead
A year after the tragic disappearance of his wife, Emily, Daniel Carter is still haunted by unanswered questions. The official reports say she’s dead, but no body was ever found. The grief is suffocating, but Daniel has forced himself to move on—until one night, his phone rings.
The caller ID reads a name that shouldn't exist anymore.
Emily.
At first, he thinks it’s a cruel joke. But then he hears her voice, whispering a chilling message:
"Daniel… stop digging."
From that moment, his world spirals into madness. The next day, he finds a coin—just like the one Emily used to carry—engraved with the same warning. The deeper he looks, the stranger things become. The phone company confirms Emily's number was disconnected a year ago. There are no call records. No one believes him.
As Daniel follows the cryptic clues, he starts uncovering things about Emily’s past that he never knew—secrets she buried deep, connections to people who seem just as eager for him to stop his search. And every time he gets too close, another warning appears… or worse, another call from his dead wife.
But if Emily is truly gone, then who’s calling him?
And if she’s still alive… then why is she so desperate for him to stop?
With time running out and danger closing in, Daniel must decide—does he risk everything to uncover the truth, or does he heed Emily’s warning and turn back before it’s too late?
Because some secrets aren’t meant to be unearthed.
And sometimes, the dead don’t rest because they were never dead to begin with.
