Quincy Carpenter survived a massacre at Pine Cottage. She became one of three women the media calls Final Girls—the sole survivors of separate killing sprees.

When one Final Girl dies and the other shows up at her door, Quincy's carefully constructed amnesia about what really happened begins to fail.
