Eliza knows the legends about the swamp near her house -- that people have fallen into sinkholes, never to be seen again, maybe even falling to the center of the earth.

And when the earth opens under her feet, there isn't even time to say I told you so.

Eliza is grateful to be alive, but this isn't home. Is she willing to risk everything to get back to the surface?
