"Rox and her boyfriend leave town to have an abortion. When they return, they find every living being in their town has vanished except three other teenagers. Curiously all five have a connection with Betty Sue, a young storyteller who committed suicide months ago. As the five wander through the empty town, they find stories Betty Sue wrote before her death that prophesize how each of the five teenagers will die. One by one, the teens are killed in gruesome ways until only Rox is left to discover if Betty Sue truly died and how she has been killing Rox's friends. "
