The premise
14-year old Echo and her mother Ivy, a tarot card reader, live a quiet life in a rural area. When reclusive Kurt moves down the road to restore an abandoned farmhouse, an accident leads to Echo’s murder, and suddenly three lives collide in mysterious and wicked ways. Kurt assumes he can hide his secret under the ground. But Echo burrows into his head until he can feel her in his bones. As she haunts his every move, trying to reach her mother from beyond, Ivy must dig deep to see the signs and prove that love won’t stay buried.
Horror Vault's take
In a remote winter landscape, a chance encounter between a lonely drifter and a teenage girl sets off a chain of events that neither the living nor the dead can escape. When tragedy strikes, a mother's psychic gifts become her only thread back to her missing daughter — and the truth refuses to stay buried. Shot on a shoestring budget by a real-life family, The Deeper You Dig is a hauntingly personal tale of guilt eating a man alive while love reaches across the divide between worlds. Quiet and deeply strange, it crawls under your skin long before you realize how deep it has gone.
