Thirteen-year-old Bernie's summer is looking pretty grim. It's hard to make friends when your family runs a monument company and your backyard is littered with tombstones. Her father has just hired a new artist to engrave the headstones - creepy Mr. Stein. Bernie has a bad feeling about him and after snooping around his cottage, she discovers an engraved portrait of their neighbour ... a woman who promptly dies the next day. Is Mr. Stein predicting the deaths ... or causing them?
