Andrea Warren, a young archaeologist with Native American roots, sets out on a journey to the Outer Banks of North Carolina hoping to unearth the truth about why her father committed suicide when she was a child. All she knows about him is that he was looking for old coffins made from dugout canoes believed by many locals to belong to remnants of the 118 men, women, and children who mysteriously vanished from Roanoke Island in 1590 and have never been found again. When she inherits an old trunk containing his field notes, strange things begin to happen. Dreams, visions, and apparitions seem to be warning her that her life is in danger.  Events turn deadly the closer she gets to the truth: What happened to the Lost Colony? Where did Virginia Dare go?
