Be Right Back

De: Bill Wood

The chilling second installment in the Let's Split Up trilogy—where coming home means facing a killer who knows your past.

One year after surviving the mystery that made them local legends, the Sanera gang has gone their separate ways. College, new lives, and distance have replaced late-night investigations—except for Cam, who can't quite move on.

When Sanera's Halloween festival reunites the group for a celebratory hometown event, nostalgia quickly turns to terror. Cam spots the Carrington Ghoul—a figure tied to their last case—and realizes their past isn't done with them yet.

As the festival spirals into chaos, a new killer emerges, using Sanera's local legends as inspiration for a string of gruesome murders. Each crime mirrors myths the gang once debunked, making it clear: someone is obsessed with their history—and is rewriting it in blood.

With the town exploiting its dark past for tourism and the gang's fame painting a target on their backs, they must reunite to stop the killer before the legend claims one of their own.

Tense, twisty, and relentless, Be Right Back deepens the danger and raises the stakes in the Let's Split Up trilogy—proving that once you uncover the truth, there's no such thing as moving on.
