1989, Lamesa, Texas. A community driven by oil and cotton - a town where everyone knows everyone else's business.
Tolly Driver, seventeen, a good kid with more potential than application, exists on the outskirts with his best friend, Amber. They navigate the hellscape of the teenage social scene, sticking together in a place that doesn't know how to be different.
But when they go to a fateful party at Deek Masterton's house - a party that ends in a series of gruesome, brutal and extravagant murders - Tolly's world gets flipped upside-down. Because some slashers are born in violence and retribution, some were born that way - and some were just in the wrong place, at the wrong time...
