Buried Alive II

Clint Goodman is a former survivor living under the alias Michael Haden, carrying the physical and emotional scars of a past attempt on his life. He returns to attend Sheriff Sam Eberly’s funeral, though his frail health from toxin exposure keeps him on the edge of collapse. He serves as a wary mentor to Laura, offering hard-earned caution about trust in a town where danger lingers. His dramatic fate comes when a second heart attack is triggered as he exhumed Laura’s grave and tries to intervene, leaving him dead and Laura to confront the consequences of her vengeance.

Laura Riskin inherits $250,000 and wants to secure a future, even as her husband Randy dreams of leaving for a yacht and a carefree life. She suspects Randy’s affair with Roxanne and navigates a web of lies to protect her family in a town wary of outsiders. After a poisoning attempt fakes her death, she awakens and orchestrates a calculated revenge, ultimately trapping Randy and Roxanne on a sinking yacht. Her arc moves from vulnerability to determined vengeance, ending with a new life beyond the town’s confines.

Randy Riskin is a discontented husband who resents life in the small town and pursues an affair with Roxanne. He schemes to leave with her by leveraging Laura’s inheritance and covers his tracks by avoiding an autopsy. His ruthlessness escalates as the plot turns, leading to his capture in Laura’s final trap on the yacht. His greed and infidelity propel the conflict toward a fatal sea-bound reckoning.

Roxanne is Randy’s lover, impatient and unscrupulous, drawn into the murder plot to secure a future with him. She becomes entangled in Laura’s vengeance and shares responsibility for the perilous plan. Trapped in the yacht’s doom alongside Randy, she faces the consequences of betrayal as the vessel sinks.

Dr. Ford is the local physician who treats Laura and is involved in the medical aftermath of the poisoning. His role provides the clinical backdrop to the plot’s deadly deception, including the choice not to pursue an autopsy that could reveal foul play. He represents the town’s ordinary facades pressed into extraordinary circumstances.

The Minister appears as a figure of community and ritual during the funeral, grounding the town’s social fabric amid the unfolding danger. His presence underscores the contrast between outward piety and hidden scheming in a place where appearances mask deeper motives.
