About this listen

When Joseph was 10, his entire family was murdered in their new house at the end of the cul-de-sac.

Four bodies. One survivor

No forced entry.

No other suspects.

The headlines called it "A Family Massacre". The town called Joseph "the killer who got away". Joseph remembers almost nothing—just a song on the stereo, a game of hide-and-seek, his mother’s body on the basement floor, and his father’s voice: "What have you done?"

Twenty years later, Joseph reluctantly returns to the house he inherited and can’t afford to sell. He takes in a roommate, installs security cameras, and tries to ignore the graffiti on his garage: WELCOME BACK KILLER.

Then someone starts murdering the kids who grew up on his street—now adults with their own secrets—and staging their bodies like a twisted echo of childhood hiding places. The police have a theory: wherever Joseph goes, people die. Again.

But as songs from that night worm their way back into his memory, Joseph begins to remember the one thing the official story always left out—that night, it wasn’t just his family in the house.

And the real monster has been waiting for him to remember ever since.
