“Because I can’t take another dead girl.”

You can’t forget “Sadie”. Its premise can be laid out in one simple quote:

 “I’m going to kill a man. I’m going to steal the light from his eyes. I want to watch it go out.” 

After her younger sister is murdered, the titular character vows to seek revenge on whoever killed her. With a rented car, photograph, and blade, she drives down a dark path. Identified as a runaway, her caretaker makes a desperate phone call to popular radio host West McCray, in an effort to bring Sadie home. McCray travels to the small town of Cold Creek and picks up the clues she has left behind in a mess, which gives birth to the serialized podcast called The Girls. With every step he takes to find answers, more questions appear. In this confusing puzzle, will he be able to put the pieces together?
