I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER

“If you're going to bury the truth, make sure it stays buried.”

After an accident on a winding road, four teens make the fatal mistake of dumping their victim's body into the sea. Exactly one year later, the deadly secret resurfaces as they're stalked by a hook-handed figure.
