Sarah heads out to Linden, NJ to offer what help she can to the local police. Typically the FBI wouldn’t be involved, but the event bears an eerie similarity to a crime that occurred at a Blockbuster Video fifteen years earlier and the Bureau has an outstanding warrant for the suspect related to those murders.

Jesse is the sole survivor of an attack at an ice cream parlor where all the workers were killed by a man wielding a knife. There’s a teenage girl – Jesse – in need of counseling expertise that only Ella can offer. That moment brings a man, a knife, and a blood bath which leaves only one survivor.įifteen years later, Ella Monroe receives a late-night call. Only that’s not what happens when closing time rolls around. They’re just anxious for ten o’clock to arrive so they can head out to their own parties.
