What would it be like to be 8 years old and all alone deep in the bowels of a cave with no light and creepy sounds all around you? That is exactly what happens to stuttering foster child Sam when he runs away from his foster siblings Jack and Ashley Landon after witnessing what he thinks is a drug overdose by a park ranger. Join the Landon family on this adventure that takes place in Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico. You will experience bats, thieves, chasms, and what it means to feel lost and truly alone in the dark!

What do you hear in the dark?
