The Shovel

| USA | 15 MINUTES | English
Drama, Thriller
When weekender Paul Mullin (David Strathairn) discovers his neighbor digging a hole in the middle of the night, he simply writes it off as a bizarre encounter...until the neighbor and his cheating wife disappear. Worried that he's stumbled upon more than he bargained for, Paul calls on the local sheriff (Tim Guinee) to help unearth the truth, and finds out that, in a small town, some secrets are better left buried.
