Dix is a haunted soul living beside a graveyard and making reparations for past sins by working as a forensic artist and morgue hand. Jane is the young victim of a ghastly unsolved murder, whose postmortem sketch hangs upon his wall. When men and machines arrive one day to exhume Jane’s body, they unearth more than just decaying bones, and return Dix to the scene of a crime he’s long tried to repress.
