A teen slasher procedural that pairs high school social paranoia with serial-killer mystery, sustained across three seasons with moderate tension and persistent distrust.

What starts as a YouTube video going viral, soon leads to problems for the teenagers of Lakewood and serves as the catalyst for a murder that opens up a window to the town's troubled past. Everyone has secrets. Everyone tells lies. Everyone is fair game.
