You think you know your friends. I thought that too . . .

Now, finally returning home, Paul is forced to remember that horrifying day . . .
Because in another town, a copycat killer has struck.
Paul's mother claims she's heard something in the house.
And Paul realises someone is following him.
Which reminds him of the two questions he's never been able to answer:
What really happened to Charlie on the day of the murder?
And can Paul stop it happening again?
