In this second installment of the trilogy, Billy and his friend Chigger continue their adventures in a hidden cave. After a horrifying accident at the cave, Billy is pronounced clinically dead on an operating table. But after a miraculous recovery, Billy discovers an ability to see and speak with the spirits of the dead, including his deceased Cherokee grandmother.

When Chigger becomes possessed by an alien force, Billy knows he must return to the cave to find a clue that will save his friend. What he doesn’t know is that the Horned Serpent known to the Cherokees as Uktena, is lying in wait.
