SYNOPSIS

One night on a dark, lonely road outside of White Rock, Texas, Bret Maverick lends a sad but beautiful woman his coat for warmth as he gives her a ride home. But as she walks ahead to check the safety of the path, she disappears into the shadows and from the face of the earth. Bret is desperate to find her, not because she is lost but because the coat she was wearing had his $1,000 bill pinned inside. When he returns to town to try to track her down, he learns that she has been dead and buried for more than a week.
