 The summer sleep away camp for youths is held on the Island of UTOYA every single summer. About 500 teenagers will gather on the wooded island.
They sleep in tents, have bonfires, and tell creepy stories while roasting marshmallows.
But when the kids start playing games - that’s usually when the fun starts. Card games, tag, hide and seek -
A group of 11 teenagers were lying down in the grass right off the “Lover’s Path.”
“Here lay down right here and don’t move. Shhhh. Act like you’re dead.”
If a single one of them sneezes, coughs, or so much as moves - their covers are blown. They hear the footsteps getting nearer on the path… closer…
One of the 11 looks up.
There is a young guy, blonde hair, striking blue eyes - just standing over them.
She makes eye contact with him… he lifts his hand up and a black rifle appears.
He opens fire.
Out of the 11. 10 will die. 1 will survive.
Another 59 on the island will be killed within the hour. There is a mad gunman on the loose on an island full of teenagers.

There was an emergency at Terri’s daycare. This had never happened before. Ever. 
She picked up the phone - 
“Hi, uh - there’s been a family emergency. Please come pick your children up right away. Please hurry.”
The parents rush to pick up their children and they let out a sigh of relief when they see all the toddlers are in one piece. But something is wrong with Terri. She’s rushing them into their car seats and you can just tell her mind is elsewhere. 
Once all the children are gone - Terri rushes to her phone and dials 911 - 
“Hi, it’s an emergency. I found something in my son’s closet wrapped in a plastic bag. He has a shotgun in his room… he just pulled up. Can you please just come?”
Terri kept an eye on her son that just arrived at home. 
Any louder, and Brian might hear her. 
Any louder and he might realize that his mother Terri knew what he did. 
Any louder and he might investigate and find what’s in the kitchen sink. Underneath a blue towel - lay a decapitated head and pair of hacked off hands. 
Any louder and the Cohee family would have to ask their 19 year old son - where is there rest of the body??

In the seat facing away from the camera, all they could see was the student’s back and her arms digging through whatever was in her lap. For several minutes, she stayed like this. Then she got up. Turned around. And looked straight into the lens of the CCTV camera in the corner. 
She locked eyes and stayed like that. They felt a chill as they watched the footage. An icy stare. Frozen in place. Then she lifted up her hands and held a body up to the camera. A cat--a campus stray, lovingly named Princess by the other University students. She grabbed the back of the kitten’s neck. Then, with her other hand, wrapped her grip firmly around the kitten’s throat and squeezed. 
Shanghai Tech’s very own serial cat killer. This is the case dubbed the ‘animal Nth rooms,’ about the world-wide cat (crush, torture, and kill) gang that was responsible for the viral video—the cat blender.
Who is behind it all? And why?

Teenage girls start rushing to the apartment building, jumping excitedly and shouting “Hey Lindemberg! Come to the window, I came here just to see you!” 
“We like bad boys!” - it’s like a concert for a boy group celebrity. 
But Lindemberg is a ticking time bomb. He’s hiding away from the window in the apartment. 
The hollers, catcalls, hearing his name - ugh he can’t focus! He needs to focus right now. 
He stretches his arm out the window and waves his hand around wildly as a pulls the trigger on his gun. 
Pop! Pop! Pop! He shoots straight into the crowd that had formed below him - the groupies and admirers scatter - but Lindemberg is still fuming. 
He can shoot into a crowd of admirers but he can’t shoot the girl he came to kill. The one he had taken hostage just hours before. The one he had groomed since she was 12 years old. The love of his life. He’s still deciding if he should spare her or shoot her. 
Maybe he should give the big crowd below him what they came for - a show.

Jolly’s whole family was dead. Well, almost all of them, but she never let that get her down. But this time, her friends noticed - something was very wrong with Jolly. 
She seemed out of it at the small gathering.
Anytime someone tried talking to her - she would glance across the room. It seemed like she was waiting for someone to walk in. 
“Don’t you want to marry someone like him?” - Jolly said. 
Her friend looked at her like she sprouted another head - “Excuse me?”
“That guy over there - he just seems so peaceful and calm.”
Jolly’s friends were confused - was she talking about Shaju? He’s happily married with two kids… and not to mention… he’s her cousin. 
Her friends didn’t think too much into it until Shaju, Jolly’s new love interest, his wife and child died mysteriously… 
Was Jolly Joseph killing everyone that she felt was in her way? Or… was there something just in the curry?
