When asked to find the house where a maid worked over a hundred years ago, Katy is intrigued. Justine and Joseph tell her that their third-great-grandmother Jannie's jewelry is in the house. These jewels, the kids hope, will help buy them out of their life in a rundown trailer park with their negligent mother and her abusive boyfriend. Katy searches and finds the address of the house. Curious, she visits the house, and an old woman invites her in to have tea, only to make her wonder later if she was conversing with a dead woman.
Justine and Joseph scope the house and break in. What they find beneath the dirt floor has no luster. Bone is its color and its substance. Uncovering century-old secrets, these three searchers reveal long-hidden family truths. It is as if Jannie has reached into the present to influence the future lives of all those involved.
