Episode description
Trigger Warning: This episode involves conversations about suicide, self-harm, and dating abuse
This episode brings us back to 2008 in Apex North Carolina. It is focused on a group of friends that went to school together, partied together, and have dated each other. If you have ever known a group like this or been a part of one you know that it can be a recipe for disaster, especially when you add teenage hormones and emotions to it all. But this group was a little different than most. Each member was going through an inner struggle of their own, self harm, mental illness, lack of self esteem, or aggression. In the end this combination of complication would lead the the brutal murder of one of the teens, and the road to get there is a very twisted one indeed.
