About
Roxanne and Pepper are a teenage couple with problems. They leave their small town for a weekend to try and solve them. They don't really succeed, and when they return home they find their town empty. They call other towns. They find the whole world empty. But eventually they find three other kids their age who are still alive in the town. They cannot imagine why the five of them seem to be the only ones left of the entire human race. They have only one thing in common. They were either directly or indirectly involved with the death of Betty Sue - the plain shy girl who committed suicide only a short time ago. Betty Sue - the quiet, brilliant girl who wrote short stories about each of them. Stories of hate, of revenge, of death in a dead world. It makes them wonder who Betty Sue really was. Or what Betty Sue was.

  1. 1

    How does the initial premise of returning to an empty world tap into the classic adolescent fear of isolation and feeling entirely misunderstood by society?

  2. 2

    If you suddenly found yourself as one of the only people left on Earth, do you think the immediate panic would outweigh the strange, terrifying sense of freedom?

  3. 3

    The five survivors are bound together not by friendship, but by their shared connection to Betty Sue. How do guilt and complicity change the way people interact when forced into a confined group dynamic?
