Since childhood, Susie (Kiersey Clemons) loves reading mysteries with her mother. As a part-time college student, she takes care of her sick mother, interns at the police station, and does her mystery podcast but no one actually listens to it. When popular student Jesse (Alex Wolff) goes missing, she sets out to solve the mystery.
The reveal needs to be shown much later in the movie. The audience needs to suspect Jesse of kidnapping himself for the attention. They need to start a list of possible suspects before the movie does the reveal. Some other minor changes include killing off the uncle to delete him from the suspect list and Jim Gaffigan needs to be smarter to ramp up the tension of possible discovery. He's only smart for the last scene which made me wonder where that character has been throughout the movie.
