Callie Dunbrook is an archaeologist excavating a Native American site in small-town Maryland when human remains turn up that are more recent than expected. When a DNA test suggests she was stolen as an infant, the past collides with the present. Jake Graystone, her complicated ex, keeps appearing at the dig.
