Added DiffLines:

B.A. gets a telegram from his old girlfriend Deborah, saying she urgently needs to see him. Her husband, Jason Duke, disappeared shortly after moving to the town of Whispering Pines and she wants the A-Team to find him. As the team begins poking around, they find that the subject of Duke is a hot spot for the town -- a subject which seems to be wrapped up with an old mine, the secrets of which the owners are willing to protect with deadly force.
