Katie knows that something eerie is happening in the old deserted town where she, her stepbrother, and her newly widowed mother are spending the summer taking care of Uncle Frank. Sometimes, when Katie puts her ear to the ground in Uncle Frank's backyard, she hears a groaning noise that sounds almost human. Then a crippled ghost-girl appears to her out of the gloom in an abandoned mine, and Katie is at once terrified and puzzled. Is the ghost-girl trying to tell her something? Could the girl's chilling appearance have something to do with the tragic mining accident thirty years before?
When Katie questions her uncle, he grows agitated, and her mother forbids Katie to discuss her suspicions. But in a fiery climax, Katie and her rebellious stepbrother learn the truth about Uncle Frank's tormented past, and discover things about each other that strengthen their fragile relationship.
