A nature trek takes a perilous turn when the wilderness reveals its sinister secrets. New Zealand's remote Milford Track appears to be the ideal setting for forensic investigator Alexa Glock to reconnect with her brother Charlie, with whom she hasn't spent much time since they were children. However, their backpacking trip seems doomed from the outset when she is forced to halt her journey to examine nine skeletons, most likely Maori tribespeople, whose graves have been unearthed by highway construction. Before she opens the first casket, a Maori elder imparts a grave warning: The viewing of bones can bring misfortune to the living, or even worse. Despite Alexa's initial dismissal of his words as superstition, they soon come back to haunt her as the idyllic hike takes a sinister turn.

Firstly, Charlie becomes aloof and resentful of the time Alexa has dedicated to her work. Then, a rock avalanche nearly carries her away as it reveals the skeletal remains of someone who has clearly been stabbed to death. When a fellow hiker goes missing and is later found dead, Alexa is left with no choice but to focus on the science as she investigates two murders, all while trying to avoid becoming the third victim.

As she delves deeper into the investigation, Alexa discovers that the Milford Track holds many secrets, and the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. The trail is not only a place of natural beauty, but it is also a site of ancient burial grounds, and the bones she is examining could hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of the Maori people's past.

However, as Alexa gets closer to the truth, she becomes aware of the dangerous forces that are at work. There are those who will stop at nothing to protect the secrets of the trail, and they are willing to use any means necessary to silence Alexa and her brother.

As the trek continues, Alexa and Charlie must navigate through treacherous terrain, face dangerous wildlife, and confront their own fears and doubts. They must rely on each other and their forensic skills to survive and uncover the truth before it is too late.

In the end, Alexa and Charlie discover that the Milford Track is not just a place of natural beauty, but it is also a symbol of the resilience and strength of the human spirit. They learn that the past can hold the key to the future, and that sometimes the most dangerous secrets are the ones that are closest to home.
