Haunted by the death of her classmate, Martha returns, ten years on, to their old meeting place. But as the memories of their relationship come flooding back, she must confront the tragic mystery that put an end to it. They Found Her in a Field explores the cyclical nature of trauma, how some scars can never heal and how specific places can hold a profound significance in our lives, for better or worse.
