Remington, Josephine, and Scott barely escaped the burning farmhouse with their lives, but the physical scars they carry are only half the battle. While they recover, the rest of the group is forced to confront a terrifying reality: the Huntsmen aren't just nameless assassins hiding in the shadows. They are hiding in plain sight. As the investigation deepens, the group begins to suspect that the enemy isn't a stranger—it could be a neighbor, a trusted authority figure, or someone they've known their entire lives.
With the core group fractured and the police unable to stem the rising tide of violence, the burden of survival shifts to those still standing. When Phoebe vanishes without a trace, the search for her falls to an unlikely pair. Erica, reeling from a poisoning that left her paralyzed, refuses to be sidelined. Transforming her new reality into a weapon, she channels her sharp instincts into leading the investigation alongside Adrian, who remains the group's steadfast anchor in the chaos.
But the Huntsmen aren't the only source of tension. As the pressure mounts, Remington begins to drift from her friends, guarding a personal secret that pulls her away from the group and into the shadows of the town. Her increasingly evasive behavior threatens to shatter the group's trust just when they need it most.
From the guarded walls of the juvenile detention center to the town's darkest alleys, the friends must navigate a maze of corruption. But as they dig deeper, they realize the enemy isn't just hunting them down—they are waiting for them to destroy each other.
In this gripping sequel, the team is divided, the enemy is entrenched, and the most dangerous secrets are the ones kept between friends.
