Mackenzie, Ava, Caitlin, Julie, and Parker have secrets they never meant to share. They talked about killing Nolan Hotchkiss, the wealthy bully who made their lives miserable. They planned exactly how they would do it. But they never acted on those dark fantasies. They just talked. Then Nolan turns up dead. He dies in precisely the way the five girls imagined. The coincidence terrifies them. They wonder if someone overheard their conversations. They wonder if they're being watched. Their fear grows when a second person dies. This victim was also someone they discussed killing. The girls realize they might be getting framed for murders they didn't commit. Or maybe the real killer has them in sight. Maybe they discussed their own deaths without knowing it. The five friends must figure out who knows their secrets and why someone is turning their violent fantasies into reality before they become the next victims.
