Kate Cipher returns to her childhood town to look after her elderly mother, but she faces unexpectedly hostile treatment from the locals. It turns out that a girl was recently killed in the area, and her death suspiciously resembles an accident that happened many years ago to Del Grizwold, Kate’s classmate. That story became the beginning of the town legend of the mysterious Potato Girl, who wanders alone through the woods. Kate, of course, doesn’t believe in ghosts, but when Nick, Del’s older brother, comes to see her and asks her to contact his deceased sister, Kate’s common sense is put to a serious test.
