Eighteen-year-old Emily Heath is desperate to leave her dead-end town, known locally as "The Sham". She'd love to leave with her boyfriend, Jack, but he's very, very sick; his body is failing and his brain is shutting down. He's also in hiding, under suspicion of murder. Six months' ago, strange signs were painted across town in a dialect no one has spoken for decades and one of Emily's classmates washed up in the local floods. 

Emily has never trusted her instincts and now they're pulling her towards Jack, who the police think is a sham himself, someone else entirely. As the town wakes to discover new signs plastered across its walls, Emily must decide who and what she trusts, and fast: local vigilantes are hunting Jack; the floods, the police, and her parents are blocking her path; and the town doesn't need another dead body.

The Vanishing Cheerleaders

26 parts Complete

At Willow Creek High, blonde, blue-eyed cheerleaders are disappearing without a trace. The once vibrant school is now clouded with fear and uncertainty. For 21-year-old Emily Carter, the disappearances hit close to home-her younger sister, Ashley, was the latest victim. Determined to uncover the truth, Emily takes matters into her own hands. She dyes her naturally brunette hair blonde and goes undercover, joining the cheer squad to find out what really happened to her sister. Emily quickly notices something sinister: the school's bad boy, Cole Matthews, seems unusually interested in her. With his brooding looks and dangerous reputation, Cole has always given Emily the creeps, but now he's watching her more than ever. As he persistently asks her out, Emily's suspicions grow. But when her older brother, Jake, a 25-year-old police officer, suggests she take the risk and go on the date-armed with a hidden tracker-Emily agrees. What begins as a simple date soon turns into a nightmarish ordeal as Cole drives her deep into the woods. At a secluded cabin, Emily uncovers the horrifying truth: Cole has been abducting and murdering cheerleaders, including her sister. With her brother and the police closing in, Emily must use every ounce of strength and courage to survive the night and bring Cole to justice. But the scars of what she uncovers may never heal.
