The Outer Banks keeps its secrets buried in sand and hidden in fog. But podcaster Dani Deveraux makes her living digging up the past. She's investigated cold cases from coast to coast, but Manteo Detective Lee Pruitt's 1992 disappearance is different. There's the cassette tape his widow hid for thirty-three years: a hypnosis session with a nameless stranger discovered on Hwy 64. The stranger told an impossible story. Lights in the sky. Abduction. A childhood stolen by something not human. And a warning: they would return. That night, both men vanished from the beach without a trace. Lee left behind a pregnant wife and unanswered questions. His son, now grown, is desperate for the truth, a truth some would prefer to stay hidden. The Banks have kept this secret for thirty-three years. But secrets don't stay buried forever. Some mysteries were meant to stay buried. This one won't.
