Being a child of a Final Girl means three things: 1. Your mom's popularity will be the only thing anyone knows about you. 2. You are never going to be as good as her. 3. When the Slasher comes back (and they always come back), you're either collateral damage or the next Final Girl. 
 For Christen, being a Final Girl is not an option. She's not popular enough, short enough, or thin enough to be the pretty cheerleader running from a man with a knife. That was her mom, Nicole. Christen's only hope is to get through her senior year and move to a bigger city before Thomas Crawford, the Haronville Slasher, returns to take his revenge. 
 But during the memorial for the Slasher victim's a video is sent of a local boy who is about to be killed. Christen fights for survival as the past replays itself for a whole new generation. Hidden secrets come to light and a promise Nicole made years ago becomes Christen's undoing.
