Aria, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily sit in a courtroom where everyone believes they killed Alison. The four friends know they were framed, but proving their innocence seems impossible. A continues to watch them, sending threatening messages and orchestrating deadly schemes that tighten the noose around their necks. Prison looms closer each day as their legal options dwindle. The pressure breaks them down piece by piece. They start making reckless choices that only make their situation worse. Desperation drives them to increasingly dangerous mistakes. Emily faces the most terrible choice of all, one that will transform the lives of all four liars forever. The surveillance never stops, and A's promise to keep watching becomes more menacing as the trial approaches.
