Their attempt to save her fails, and the local police quickly label the couple as primary suspects. To clear their names, they investigate a series of cold cases involving young women who vanished along this same stretch of highway over several decades. July discovers that April is hiding a childhood past connected to the area, while a supernatural presence appears to haunt the woods surrounding the town.
