In 1929, Judith Izzard borrowed her mother’s one-of-a-kind ruby and diamond ring to wear to her high school graduation party. That night, Judith vanished without a trace, leaving behind a mystery that would haunt her family—and her hometown—for generations.

Fast forward to 2025. Dr. Alexa Ford, a renowned archaeologist, is hired by a land speculator to evaluate the very farm where Judith Izzard grew up. The speculator is convinced the land hides treasures from the past, and Alexa’s expertise is needed to uncover them. During her investigation, Alexa makes a chilling discovery: a ruby and diamond ring entwined with the small bones of a girl’s hand.

The ring is no ordinary artifact. It serves as a portal to the restless spirit of Judith Izzard, but only Alexa can sense its magic. Through visions and whispers, Judith’s spirit pleads for help, desperate to be released from the limbo where she’s been trapped for nearly a century.

Determined to grant Judith peace, Alexa embarks on a quest to solve the mystery of the teenager’s death. As she delves deeper, the investigation spirals into a labyrinth of secrets and deception that spans decades. With the help of her loyal dog, Indiana Jones, a sharp-witted FBI agent, and the local police, Alexa must navigate danger and betrayal as the truth slowly unravels.

Will Alexa solve the dark mystery of Judith Izzard’s disappearance? Can she free Judith’s soul before others fall victim to the secrets buried on the farm? Or will the past claim more lives before the truth comes to light?

Join Dr. Alexa Ford on a thrilling adventure where history, the supernatural, and suspense collide. Unravel truths nobody could imagine, and race against time to save a lost girl’s soul.
