It's 1994. One year before the murder of Maureen Prescott, and two years before any of the Woodsboro Murders occur. Alicja Drake is the new girl in town, moving from Brooklyn, New York to Woodsboro with her father and baby sister, Namiko. In an English class, she meets the charming and good-looking Billy Loomis, who sweeps her off her feet with his seemingly polite and caring nature. However, as time passes, Billy shows his true colors: dark, possessive, aggressive, abusive, controlling, and suffering from abandonment issues. It becomes apparent that Billy is a psychopath, but can Alicja expose his devious nature or cover for him out of fear and love?
