A Night That Changed Everything
"Good night, pretty girl." Five whispered words that would haunt Ella Monroe for fifteen years after surviving the brutal New Year's Eve massacre at a Blockbuster Video store in 1999. While her coworkers-the manager and three teenage employees-had their throats methodically slit, fifteen-year-old Ella somehow survived, hidden in a storage closet, her clothes soaked with her friends' blood. The case went cold despite extensive investigation, leaving the small town of Linden, New Jersey to slowly transform its collective grief into whispered speculation about the "Blockbuster Butcher." Fast forward to 2015. Ella, now thirty and working as a therapist in Philadelphia, has constructed a fragile facade of normalcy while self-medicating with Xanax and engaging in risky hookups. When she receives a late-night call from her former teacher, now Principal Steadman, history repeats itself in the most horrific way: four teenage girls working the closing shift at the Dairy Creamery have been attacked, with only one survivor-a quiet foster child named Jesse Duvall. The parallels are unmistakable. Both attacks targeted teenagers working night shifts. Both demonstrated careful planning. Both left a single survivor found hiding. And both occurred in Linden-a town too small for such striking coincidences.
