It’s the summer of 1984; high school senior Lisa has no idea what she wants to do with her life, and time is running out. Tonight is West Ridge High’s graduation party at Palmer Lake, and tomorrow the real world comes crashing through.

Everyone else is moving away or going to college, but Lisa and her best friend, Ray, are the only ones with no college prospects and a bleak future. Lisa wants the party to last forever, and she’s not the only one with plans for the night. Ray has a secret he needs to tell her; the queen bee, Roslyn, has one last power play; the valedictorian, Marcy, wants to prove she can be fun and have one night out; Doug the pea-brained jock shows his heart; and Zack, an arrogant know-it-all, is desperate to get laid before the night is up. But all priorities change when notorious killer Arthur Vargas escapes prison on the anniversary of his original massacre and picks Palmer Lake as his new hunting ground.

As the bodies pile up and the mystery deepens, Lisa starts to suspect Arthur Vargas’ choice of victim isn't random, and she’s #1 on his kill list. If these teens can face their fears, learn to make tough decisions and stick together, they might just live to see adulthood.
