Despondent and bored, Derek reluctantly takes a job at a local cemetery. If that’s not creepy enough, he has to work with the soon to be retired caretaker, Charlie Kramer. Charlie’s got his share of secrets and Derek has a sneaking suspicion that most have to do with the old cemetery. But Charlie’s not telling and Derek is about to find out on his own what secrets the graves hold. There are dark and malevolent forces at work and Derek soon finds out that all is not dead at this place of rest.
