Throughout The Summer Of 1944-Until One Father Forbids It-The Subterranean Space Becomes Their "Secret Garden," Where The Friends Play Games And Tell Stories. Six Decades Later, Beneath A House On The Same Land, Construction Workers Uncover A Tin Box Containing Two Skeletal Hands, One Male And One Female. As The Discovery Makes National News, The Friends Come Together Once Again, To Recall Their Days In The Tunnel For The Detective Investigating The Case. Is The Truth Buried Among These Aging Friends And Their Memories? This Impromptu Reunion Causes Long-Simmering Feelings To Bubble To The Surface.
