When Hunter Kittrell and his beautiful friend Miki arrive in Beaufort, N.C. for their summer stay, they decide to liven up the small town by pulling a harmless prank. That prank, however, quickly finds them deeply entangled in a bloody face-off with a knife-wielding serial killer. As the usually peaceful town is plunged into chaos, Hunter and Miki find themselves drawn more deeply into the investigation, and it turns out their connection to the murders might not be as tenuous as it seemed at first. As the investigation continues, burning questions bubble: Why is Hunter being framed for at least one of the murders? And why are there mentions of his long-lost father popping up all over town? Everything comes crashing down to a startling conclusion on Hunter's 21st birthday, when Hunter is finally forced to face the truths he's been running from all of his life.
