The legend of Slick Bill haunts the woods around Fletcher's Forde, Tennessee. It is said that you can find his skeletal remains in a partially open coffin, lying in the forest floor. But don't you dare touch it...
 
But that is just what young Molly and her friend Josiah do, while researching the legend. The two kids accidentally awaken an evil spirit that sets out to exact an ancient revenge on the people of the Forde, as the brittle bones of Slick Bill begin to stalk the woods- and the streets of the town.
