Jamie Prescott only agreed to attend a speed-dating event because her best friend, Laurie, wouldn't take no for an answer. She expects awkward conversations, questionable pickup lines, and maybe a free drink or two.

She doesn't expect one of her dates to have his throat slit right in front of her.

When a sudden blackout leaves multiple bodies on the floor, the exits locked, and a murderer hiding among the remaining singles, Jamie realizes she's trapped inside a real-life slasher movie.

Luckily, she's spent her entire life obsessing over horror films and romantic comedies. Armed with makeshift weapons, survival instincts, and an encyclopedic knowledge of everything a Final Girl should—and definitely shouldn't—do, Jamie is determined to make it out alive.

But as the body count rises, Jamie begins to suspect the killer isn't just murdering people at random. Someone is orchestrating the perfect horror story—and they're looking for a real-life Final Girl to star in it.

The problem? Jamie can't stop getting distracted by the ridiculously attractive men trapped alongside her.

Especially when one of them might be the killer.
