Arik’s future is perfectly planned… only he didn’t plan it.
A first-year in medical school, he follows in his father’s footsteps, but photography is Arik’s true passion, and he loves exploring the caves near his home on Monte Sano in Rocket City. The news of a serial killer who dumps his victims’ bodies in Drost Park disturbs Arik, but appears unreal, remote.
Until he joins the search for a neighbor’s missing child.
From the moment Arik enters the familiar caverns, everything changes. Lost in the cave, he follows a receding figure - a young girl holding a lantern who leads him to the playground where he discovers the unthinkable.
Thrust into an active criminal investigation, can Arik find the killer before the killer finds him?
Based on a Huntsville, AL urban legend, a child abductor abandons his victim’s bodies in a park that becomes known as…Dead Children’s Playground.
