As Scott Foster turns 21, strange things start occurring around him. It first starts a few days following his birthday as he casually waits his turn at a drive-thru during Halloween. A scream can be heard. His order is taken. Sirens wail. The police have arrived.
    
    A murder took place in this small town of Youthville! "Poor victim," is all Scott thinks, and he wishes the deceased all the best in the afterlife. But this is only the start of his problems. Two more deaths occur, and Scott is always there to witness it. On Christmas and New Year's Eve, he is always there.
    
    What's more bizarre is the whispers: he hears them blaming him for the deaths. These whispers seem to come from nowhere and everywhere. In the end, they get the better of him. It's time to find out what happened to those dead people.
    
    Follow Scott on his journey to find out the truth about himself, what happened and who was to be blamed for those deaths.
