Erin Blake has one of those names. A name that, like Natalee Holloway or Elizabeth Smart, is inextricably linked to a grisly crime. As a toddler, Erin survived for three days alongside the corpse of her murdered mother, and the case – which remained unsolved – fascinated a nation. Fourteen years later, she finds herself again at the center of another brutal homicide when she discovers the body of her biology teacher. Her suspicions suggest that her mother’s killer has struck again, and inspired by her FBI agent uncle, Erin has ramped up her forensic hobby to solve her mother’s cold case. As she gets closer to the truth, the evidence begins to point directly to her, and she must race against time before it’s too late.

Ten years ago, college student Quincy Carpenter went on vacation with five friends and came back alone, the only survivor of a horror movie-scale massacre. In an instance, she became a member of a club no one want to belong to – a group of similar survivors known in the press as the Final Girls. Now, Quincy is doing well and the past is in the past. That is until Lisa, the first Final Girl, is found dead in her bathtub, wrists slit, and Sam, the second, appears on Quincy’s doorstep intent on making Quincy relive the past. Now her life becomes a race against time as she tries to unravel Sam’s truth from her lies, evade the police and hungry reporters, and, most crucially, remember what really happened.
