Duneen is een rustig dorpje, ver genoeg verwijderd van de grote steden om z'n eigen charme te hebben behouden.

Wanneer er een duistere ontdekking wordt gedaan op een bouwplaats bij de oude school, worden er lang verzwegen geheimen geopenbaard en komen oude twisten boven water, en blijkt het rustige, ooit onschuldige en in zichzelf gekeerde dorpje een duistere en inhalige kant te hebben.
