For Miles and McKinley, their wedding day is meant to be a joyous occasion, a fresh start after months of turmoil. But in the quiet town of Greensboro, peace is a fragile illusion. A series of escalating, life-threatening events-a car bomb, a house fire, and a poisoning-reveal that their happiness has a target on its back. The Huntsmen, a ruthless and highly organized group of assassins, have returned with a new mission.
Caught in the crosshairs are the teenagers who have continually found themselves at the center of the town's chaos: Remington, Erica, Phoebe, Scott, and Adrian. While Miles and McKinley are away on their honeymoon, the teens are left to fend for themselves against a faceless enemy intent on their destruction. They must race to uncover who hired the Huntsmen before the assassins can finish the job. With lives on the line and no one they can fully trust, old wounds are reopened, and loyalties are tested. Amidst the chaos, some of the teens, like Phoebe, grapple with survivor's guilt and question their own sanity after witnessing unimaginable horrors. Others, like Erica, must confront a new and devastating reality after a vicious attack leaves her body permanently changed.
