Thursday 8 October 1986
Sara Cromwell is found dead in the lake of Saint Junes in Arizona after brutally massacring her whole family. The events of the night are unknown, the coroners confirm she killed herself, the press and the people are in a frenzy of rage and desperation and a season of fear emerges.
Thursday 8 October 2023
Years later a couple of freelancers Rebecca and Jacob in order to profit from the events decide to organise a themed escape room and host a lottery so one lucky team can have the chance to experience the horrific events the day they originally happened. Amanda, her boyfriend Treyton and their three friends Emily, James and Cynthia are the lucky ones but Amanda has a sinister past that's somehow connected to Sara. The demon that tormented Sara and haunted Amanda when she was a child wants to get inside their bodies and it won't stop until they are...just flesh and bones.
Sidney Cromwell--the teenage gossip queen. She loved a juicy secret, especially those she could exploit to her own benefit. So when she's found murdered in her bedroom, the news makes waves in the small town of Grovesville, California. As leads in the case dry up, all hope seems lost for her family and friends. That is, until it's revealed that Sidney's diary of secrets was stolen by her killer . . . and the killer wants to have fun with it.
Now the people closest to Sidney are forced to untangle a web of secrets, lies, and betrayals while battling their own demons. There's Samara, Sidney's best friend, who's still grieving the loss of her father. Jerome, whose family isn't what it seems to be. Giovanni, who was in love with Sidney. Kelly, who's struggling with a dark secret. And Derek, Sidney's twin brother, who can't remember the night she was murdered.
The killer seems to be everywhere and seems to know everything. And it's a hunt to find out their identity in a dangerous, twisted game . . . one that proves to be deadly.
