The Oak Harbor Massacre. A Sweet Sixteen Party. Eight murdered. Others injured. Among the dead Rylan’s parents and twin sister. What started off as a magical night with family and friends under the stars and twinkle lights ended in a bloody scene of screams and death. For years Rylan led everyone to believe she didn’t want to speak about that night. Any part of that night. Magical or horrific. When the truth is Rylan Somers had no memory of the attacks that night. Only what she had seen on tv or the internet over the years. And from the scars that covered her body from the brutal attack on her. Six years later Rylan returns to her family’s summer home to finally say goodbye to the past and put the house on the market. And maybe, just maybe, jog her memories. Was the face of the killer hidden away somewhere in the recesses of her mind? Would being back in Oak Harbor, back in that house, wake her memories? With plans to only stay a month Rylan gets right to work on the house with no intentions of reconnecting with old friends from that horrific night. But life has others plans for Rylan Somers. Old friendships grow stronger. New relationships get started. Lies are exposed. And The nightmare wakes back up and this time it has a name... Nefarious. Will Rylan Somers make it out alive again? Or will Nefarious finally get the revenge they seek?
