Outline: Before setting off to university, Frankie yearns for one final night of revelry in her seaside hometown. Yet it's not just her friends, family, and former boyfriends who are reluctant to say goodbye. The town's infamous phantom, Mr. Punch, lurks in the shadows, familiar with the perfect method of stirring up trouble.
The violence mounts as Frankie and her companions are forced into a struggle for survival. They find themselves plunged into a coastal gothic narrative, an end-of-the-pier slasher that serves as the first episode of what Edwards envisions as the pioneering British horror franchise, akin to the legacy of Jason, Michael, Freddie, and Jigsaw.
