#SquadGoals
She Has to Find a Killer Before Becoming the Next Victim
Directed by Danny J. Boyle
Produced by MarVista Entertainment, The Cartel
A high school thriller where a driven student journalist must investigate murders among her competitive peers while navigating friendship and suspicion.
Ambitious high school senior Samantha Hodges is a serious journalist, both for the school paper and for the yearbook, but she's just as serious about her friends, Nate, Gillian, and Rudy, all of whom are vying with her for a full-ride local scholarship to college. Very close to her mother, Emily, who is the school's guidance counselor, Samantha finds her reporting taking an investigative turn when two of her classmates--and contenders for the scholarship--are murdered.
