Digging in the Dark takes audiences to a moonless night in the woods outside Atlanta, where a woman awaits her scheming brother’s arrival. He thinks he’s coming to claim a valuable family heirloom, but she’s not to be underestimated. Listen in as one family excavates generational wounds to settle an old score before sunrise.
