10 hours It’s November 1991. George H. W. Bush is in the White House, Nirvana's in the tape deck, and movie-obsessed college student Charlie Jordan is in a car with a man who might be a serial killer. Josh Baxter, the man behind the wheel, is a virtual stranger to Charlie. They met at the campus ride board, each looking to share the long drive home to Ohio. Both have good reasons for wanting to get away. For Charlie, it’s guilt and grief over the murder of her best friend, who became the third victim of the man known as the Campus Killer. For Josh, it’s to help care for his sick father. Or so he says. Like the Hitchcock heroine she’s named after, Charlie has her doubts. There’s something suspicious about Josh, from the holes in his story about his father to how he doesn’t seem to want Charlie to see inside the car’s trunk. As they travel an empty highway in the dead of night, an increasingly worried Charlie begins to think she’s sharing a car with the Campus Killer. Is Josh truly dangerous? Or is Charlie’s suspicion merely a figment of her movie-fueled imagination? What follows is a game of cat-and-mouse played out on night-shrouded roads and in neon-lit parking lots, during an age when the only call for help can be made on a pay phone and in a place where there's nowhere to run. In order to win, Charlie must do one thing - survive the night.

Ten years ago, Quincy Carpenter was the sole survivor of a horrific massacre during a vacation with friends, joining the ranks of the Final Girls—a group of survivors from similar tragedies. Alongside Lisa, who lost nine sorority sisters, and Sam, who faced the Sack Man, Quincy has been trying to move on, though the media never allowed them to connect. Now, Quincy appears to have a good life: a supportive almost-fiancé, Jeff; a successful baking blog; and a caring police officer, Coop, who saved her. Her memories of that fateful night are hazy, buried beneath her Xanax prescription. However, everything changes when Lisa is found dead, and Sam arrives at Quincy's doorstep, determined to drag her back into the past. Sam's presence disrupts Quincy's carefully constructed life, leading her to question Sam's true motives. As new revelations about Lisa's death emerge, Quincy must navigate a web of truths and lies, evade the police and relentless reporters, and confront her own memories of Pine Cottage. Time is running out for Quincy to uncover the reality of what happened that night before the past catches up with her once more.

Da su imale običnu mladost, Samantha, Lisa i Quincy ne bi se ni poznavale. Ali, preživjele su krvave pohode masovnih ubojica i mimo svoje volje postale poznate. Novinari su ih prozvali Posljednjim djevojkama. Uvjerene su da je pokolj koji su preživjele najgore što im se u životu dogodilo. Sve dok jednu od njih policija ne pronađe mrtvu...
