About this title

Synopsis

It's October 1984 and high school friends in an Indiana town should be thinking about football, MTV, Halloween hayrides and must-see movies.

But when a classmate is killed and another is taken, six friends are plunged not only into the mystery of who's responsible, but why some of the adults in town aren't pushing to solve the crime and save their missing friend. They quickly learn that lies and murder are common among the adults in the town - and even among the adults in their own family.

THAT OCTOBER is a story of coming of age, betrayal and the power of friendship.
