Story
Virginia in anticipation of its 18th birthday. A year ago, the holiday ended in tragedy - Ginny and her mother were in a car accident, and the girl herself also fell under the screw of a ship passing by and spent a long time in intensive care. She barely survived what happened and intends to start life anew. Birthday is a great reason to forget what happened. But suddenly the holiday is overshadowed by the loss of Virginia's friends. Dr. Faraday, who looks after her, is confident in the full health of his patient, but the disappearance of friends reflects negatively on her. It soon turns out that a maniac appeared in the district. But why does he only hunt people close to Ginny? Perhaps the whole thing is in her.
During one of the visits to the doctor, the girl brutally cracked down on him. But this is no longer Ginny, but her half-sister Ann, angry at his father because he abandoned her many years ago and went to Ginny's mother.
