Elsewhere, the spoiled ghost of a young southern belle begins harassing a family. As both the living and dead teams divide and conquer, Cadence and Snow wonder if this all just a coincidence. Or has something more nefarious been set into motion?
What Cadence and Snow don’t know is that the ghost hunters didn’t just bring EMF meters and night vision cameras. They have a new, experimental piece of equipment that could threaten everything—if the prison’s occupants don’t get them first.
