Jack-in-the-Box

Detective Gillian McClary moves to a small west coast town for a change of pace after spending many years trying to work her way through the grief of losing her husband and daughter in a tragic auto accident. A teen goes missing in what used to be a local children's asylum and leads her down a rabbit hole of cold cases dating back from 2014 to the 1960's. The local legend goes, if the nursery rhyme "Jack-in-the-box" is said out loud inside of the building that he will come of hiding and murder you. She begins working with two paranormal investigators and her belief system is constantly challenged while investigating what is clearly a haunted building. As proof of spirits becomes clear, Gillian's adamant belief that the murderer is a human being is shaken. She starts feeling she is no closer to solving the mystery than the original detective before her. Gillian's worst nightmares are coming true-life after death may not be as simple as heaven and hell, and there may be something far worse that can reach across from the other side and kill.
