Having vanished near Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Abbey's best friend Kristen is presumed dead. Desperate for clues, Abbey reads Kristen's diary and uncovers her secret life. Abbey also accrues some secrets of her own: a mysterious boyfriend, late-night visits to the cemetery, two elderly friends. This supernatural romance falters with a stretched connection to Washington Irving's classic tale, but Abbey herself is compellingly real.
