It’s 1981 in the sleepy town of River Oaks, Texas, and someone is hunting cheerleaders. A 16-year-old teenager, Susan Brown, is brutally attacked in her own home. What she, the cops, and the rest of the town don’t know is that she’s just the first victim in a rampage that will change this Texas suburb forever. One by one, members of the Castleberry High School cheer squad are targeted, but things escalate when Rona Stratton’s sister is found dead in her bedroom. Rona decides to team up with her friend Lisa Ticknor, who also survived an attack, along with the other cheerleaders in the squad, to start a decades-long fight to take down the Cheerleader Slayer, and make sure he would never hurt anyone else.

On February 23rd, 2023, in Quincy, Illinois, mom of 3 Becky Bliefnick was found dead, shot 14 times in cold blood, and despite the brutal nature of the attack, there isn’t any DNA evidence left behind. The killer thinks he’s outsmarted everyone, but little do they know that Becky refused to be a silent victim, and has left all the clues investigators need to uncover the truth and bring justice for her and make sure her killer would pay for the murder, and that her ex-husband Tim Bliefnick's true personality would be revealed, starting with an episode of Family Feud.
