The horror is far from over as the terrifying Duplicitype, the infamous monster that changed Something is Killing the Children forever, remains at large...
Meanwhile, Cutter is still in relentless and sinister pursuit!
With Tribulation still very much in danger, will Erica finally find the ally she needs, or is betrayal in the cards?
