The premise

Six friends receive a mysterious chain letter via text messaging and in their email accounts from a maniac who's hunting down teenagers who fail to forward his online chain letter. Who knew they should take the threats in the chain letter seriously? Or that chain letters using the teens' favorite technologies to track them can kill? This maniacal game pits friend against friend as they race to beat rules that seem impossible to escape. Break the chain, lose a life. Do you pass it on? Does friendship mean anything?

Horror Vault's take

When a sinister chain letter begins circulating through texts and emails among a group of teenagers, ignoring it turns out to be a deadly mistake. A ruthless killer is using modern technology to track his targets, turning everyday devices into instruments of terror. The friends find themselves trapped in an escalating game with rules that seem designed to be broken — and the penalty for failure is fatal. With trust eroding and time running out, every choice could mean the difference between survival and becoming the next link in the chain.
