In 1957, big city business moves into the small town of Sulfur Fork, Tennessee. A brand new subdivision and factory are soon to be built. At the foot of cemetery hill, employees and visitors at the ancient city hall watch with both interest and trepidation. In order to make way for the new homes and industries, the Osborne Corporation must unearth and move all the residents of the town's cemetery. As relocation begins, though, something wonderful is found sleeping beneath the tombstones. The hunger for progress can prevent us from recognizing real magic when it shows up, but the townspeople of Sulfur Fork are ready. They're about to delve deeper into the past than they could ever imagine and set a new course for the future.
