Synopsis
On a bright Thanksgiving Day, a young girl named Margaret is tasked with running an errand to her Aunt Cynthia's house. The day feels warm and inviting, almost like summer, as she hurries back home with cranberry relish in hand. However, instead of taking the usual route, she decides to take a shortcut through a junk-filled lot owned by Mr. Kelly. As she navigates through the debris, she suddenly hears a chilling sound—a woman’s desperate screams echoing from beneath a pile of dirt and junk. The urgency of the situation grips her, and she realizes that someone is buried alive, pleading for help.
