Five Survive meets One of Us is Lying in this locked room thriller where someone is a killer and not everyone makes it out alive.
When a group of high school seniors, Mason (The Class President), Lucy (The Overachiever), Kenzie, (The Artist), Ian (The Slacker), Alex, (The Valedictorian), and Brady (The Tech Whiz) break into their suburban high school after hours to pull off what they think is a harmless senior prank, the night turns sinister when one of them is found dead at the bottom of the stairwell. As the night progresses, they realize they’re locked inside the school with a murderer who has a few more people in their sights. While everyone appears to be trying to escape, at least one of the teens is hunting for their next victim and any member of this group could be next.
