When former best friends Rowan and Hailey find themselves tagged in an online video showcasing a murder, they begrudgingly team up in a quest to find the third girl tagged, outcast named Elisia, to determine if the video is real or a prank.
Mysterious user "monkeyman" invites the girls to meet him at midnight, while Rowan's hacker sister, Brie, discovers he's not only sending them clues via text, but also posting stalker videos of them online.
With no other choice, but to loop in Elisia's drug dealer exboyfriend, Ash, on their secret, the girls make a desperate plan to save their friend before it's too late.
The countdown continues and Hailey receives a threat that she'll become the next victim. When she goes to visit Ash for a fix to help calm her anxiety, she discovers the threat of Monkeyman is real and very deadly.
With Monkeyman threatening the school assembly tomorrow and the countdown at 48 hours (the night of the big party), the girls list possible suspects and find a surprising one in their midst.
The girls focus on stopping the school assembly from happening before Monkeyman hurts anyone. In apparent retribution, Monkeyman begins revealing their biggest secrets.
As the girls get closer to exposing Monkeyman's identity, they are made to pay the price. Exhausted and defeated, Rowan is terrified to learn that she is next on the chopping block.
Fixated on Dunbar's suicide, Rowan's as surprised as anybody to see Hailey back at school. Cryptic messages from monkeyman's account keep Rowan on high alert.
Zoe, a new student, buddies up to Rowan in class. Rowan lets Hailey and Elisia in on the suspicious messages she's been receiving, and an univited audience crashes Hailey's audition for the school play.
While Hailey gets acquainted to her new tutor, Hawk, Rowan discovers some unsettling information about the aftermath of Dunbar's suicide, and Elisia is attacked at the Grotto.
Rowan searches Brandon's house for anything to support her nagging speculation, Hawk pushes Hailey to snap out of her apathetic haze, and the Zoo threatens a new target.
The threat of the Zoo intensifies when it's clear that they're not going to limit themselves to scare tactics, and the girls begin to wonder if there's someone else who's also receiving messages.
Elisia begins to suspect that Nicki could be the fourth target, and unusual happenings suggest that there may be outside influences motivating individuals' behavior.
Nicki comes forward with what she's been hiding from the girls, Rowan remains focused, and while new romances blossom, Elisia receives a message that changes everything.
With Hailey's help, Rowan attends a Zoo party in order to find KingCobra; however, Elisia's failure to act in accordance with their plan presents a new host of problems.
Unsure of Ash's fate, Rowan, Hailey, and Elisia attend a heart-wrenching funeral service. With their number one suspect in police custody, the girls enjoy a fleeting respite..
Tessa approaches Rowan hoping she may be able to help her understand Nicki's suicide, while Rowan and Elisia learn about a dark web leader that may pose more of a threat than KingCobra.
Rowan and Elisia learn that listening to a friend when they need you and leaning on family when you need them is not a sign of weakness but a sign of courage and strength.
