The Friendlys
After ten years, Rose Pullman isn’t so sure she wants a reunion with her father… especially since he’s a serial killer.
Recent high school graduate Rose has a terrible secret: when she was a child, she witnessed a series of slaughters carried out by her serial killer parents. But Rose was also there in 2009 when her mother died in Bainbridge, Georgia, and she hasn’t seen her father Walter Friendly ever since.
Ten years later, Rose now has a new name since being adopted by a young couple in Bainbridge. Her life is going smoothly, her future is bright... but she still has flashbacks to the murders. And deep down, Rose fears Walter will come back looking for her.
As the buzz builds in Bainbridge for the morbid anniversary, her friends decide to throw a party for the 'holiday'. Desperate to fit in with her friends and leave her traumatic past behind, Rose allows them to have the party at her house. But soon, a mysterious masked murderer shows up and the bodies start piling up. All the while, one terrifying question lingers in the back of Rose's mind:
Has Walter Friendly returned?
