So when Colton returns two months later, seemingly unharmed, everyone is both relieved and highly suspicious. There's a shift in the community. There's murder in the air. On the night before graduation, Colton is found in the local lake. Dead. And at the funeral, his best friend Elliot finds a note in his pocket claiming to be from Colton's killer. They are offering to provide a series of clues that will help Elliot discover their identity. Elliot has no choice but to follow where the confessions lead, but with each new revelation, it becomes clear that Colton had a strange and secret other life. As Elliot sees out this sick game, he begins to wonder... Is he hunting down the killer? Or is the killer hunting him?
