"When you hear the banshee's shrill cry
A person, high born, will die
A murder, quite often 
Is what fills the coffin 
Then under the turf, he will lie."

--------

Six years ago, ten friends went to a party; only four of them came out. 

Their high school graduation was supposed to be the start of the rest of their lives. A last get together before they went off to college, but little did they know what horrors fate had in store for them. 

Scarlett was one of the four that made it out; her twin sister Sofia wasn't so lucky. 

Broken after the atrocities she witnessed that night, Scarlett swore she would never return to the small mountainous town of Ashwick, Colorado that is until the sudden death of her estranged father brings her back to the very place that has haunted her every moment. 

Scarlett must confront her demons if she hopes to finally be able to put the nightmares of that night to rest, but she soon discovers that the past isn't easy to forget. 

When murders that echo Ashwick's tragic history start to happen again, it's up to Scarlett to figure out who's behind the grisly killings and unravel the dark truths buried beneath the town.
