Fabrizio De Angelis leaves it all on the sweat-stained mat at the strip-mall karate studio that hosted the bone-crushing, senses-shattering, kickpocalypse between arch rivals Kevin and Jeff! The final battle would have been pretty lame (well, lamer than it was) if it hadn't been built toward with an unceasing increase in tension as Kevin and Jeff clashed in competitions where the stakes only got higher and higher and even freaking higher! Why, by the time that Kevin had bested Jeff in the race through the Tunnel of Death (neither of them died making the tunnel's name an unfortunate misnomer), I was thinking that surely nothing could top that! Well, nothing but a training montage!

This anthology intricately interlaces four compelling tales, each orbiting individuals who unravel hidden, lost, or long-guarded secrets. Brace yourself for an exhilarating odyssey of discovery and suspense as "Unearthed" plunges deep beneath the surface to unveil mysteries concealed for far too long.

Mascots fight cheerleaders, all with suspicious pasts, where the winner takes all--including lives--to be on top of the pyramid.
