Résumé :
A murderer is on the loose... hunting their victims one by one. Their bodies mutilated, stabbed, and the body count is only going to grow because this killer is determined to make everyone pay for their sins... Ten years ago, a murder rocked the small town of Sarasota Bay to its very core, leaving four dead and another badly injured. Now, years later, four young women find themselves paying the consequences of a secret from long ago... Kidnapped and held hostage inside a dark manor, estranged friends Ashleigh Carlson, Nikki Jenkins, Addison Mickelson, and Sydney Anderson find themselves at the mercy of a sadistic psychopath. Tormented, abused, and escaping within an inch of their lives, they know one thing for sure. He's still out there, and if he came for them, they would never know. They'd never even seen his face. Agreeing to go their separate ways, until their captor is caught, Ashleigh soon finds herself alone in Los Angeles dealing with the aftermath of the manor. Not long after, two young women are viscously slaughtered inside their home, the only thing the killer leaving behind being a clown mask... the same clown mask her abductor had worn. As bodies drop one by one, one viciously slaughtered after another, Ashleigh finds herself turning to Ryan Eisenhower. Quarterback for the UCLA Tigers, and one of the only people she trusts, together they find themselves uncovering secrets from the past, along with a dangerous coverup. But the closer to the truth they get, the more bodies start to drop, and as the first game of the season nears, one thing is clear. The killer is coming for her, and this killer won't rest until she's paid for the sins of the past... and her own....
