Synopsis/Details
When the innocent and carefree Emily suddenly returns to the small, sleepy town of New Hope following a mysterious two-day absence, her best friend Lily can't shake the feeling that something's wrong. It isn't long before she finds out just how right she is. Emily isn't just back—she’s brought something unspeakable with her.
Emily's Back pulls you into a haunting tale set against the backdrop of a quaint high school in the seemingly idyllic town of New Hope. Lily and Emily, two 16-year-old best friends, find their lives upended by a series of mysterious disappearances. The town is already on edge with recent missing persons cases when Emily vanishes at a Renaissance Festival. Devastated and frantic, Lily searches tirelessly for her friend. Emily's unexpected return, unharmed but without memory of her disappearance, brings a temporary relief that soon turns into terror.
Strange occurrences begin to unfold around Emily. A bizarre, shifting tattoo appears on her back, inducing hysteria in anyone who looks at it too long. More alarming is Emily’s changed behavior; she now exhibits fearlessness towards danger and a worrying penchant for cruelty.
Enter Rose, a mysterious paranormal investigator who shows up just when things start getting weird—really weird. She holds a secret that can change the course of events: a cursed entity has latched onto Emily during her mysterious absence, and it has set its eyes on consuming her completely. What's worse, the entity won’t stop with Emily; it will continue to feed on innocence until someone with the courage to make the ultimate sacrifice stops it, once and for all.
With the clock ticking down, Lily must team up with Rose to discover the evil entity’s vulnerability as a means to destroy it. What they find out is shocking and hints at a truth about Rose no one saw coming. As Lily pieces together the puzzle, she must make a heart-wrenching decision that will either save her friend or condemn them both to a fate worse than death.
Emily’s Back is a teen horror thriller with a unique twist—it’s a story about a teenage girl who must save her best friend from a supernatural entity that doesn’t just possess its victims but transforms them into something hideous before consuming them entirely. The script features a strong, multifaceted female lead and explores themes of identity, family, and survival, all while delivering the suspense and scares that horror fans crave.
