Emma spends most of her free time at the cemetery. At school, most people think she is strange because of this. But it's not that unusual after all. Her father is a grave digger, and she lives in a house right by the cemetery wall. Peter's twin brother Martin died in an accident. Since then, Peter goes to the cemetery every day, sits by Martin's grave, and stares into space. Emma decides that this can't go on and befriends him. Together, they find a way out of the cemetery and back into life.
