"I hope you don’t sleep at night. I hope you have dreams of us coming after you."--
It's 1978, and Ron Jenkins, a detective with the Huntington police department, suddenly straightens up on his couch at home, unable to look away from the TV. The popular "Dating Game" is on, where a young bachelorette is blind dating 3 men, and Bachelor no. 1 is terrifyingly familiar to Detective Jenkins.

However, the Dating Game Killer has no idea that his 8 year old victim from years ago is actually alive, and that she will be the one to ultimately take him down.
