Picture this: It’s the Fourth of July. You’re with your best friends, the music is loud, and the night feels perfect. You’re driving home, laughing, when thump—you hit something.
It’s a person. And they’re not okay.
Your brain freezes. Do you call the cops? Do you run? In the movie, this group of friends makes the worst possible choice: they dump the body and swear to never speak of it again. Sound familiar? It’s the “hide the broken vase from mom” strategy, but dialed up to a million.
The Moment the Past Shows Up
A year later, everything seems normal. Julie is in college. Ray is fixing boats. Barry is still a braggy jock. But then a letter arrives. It reads: “I know what you did last summer.”
You know that feeling when your phone buzzes with a text from someone you ghosted? That sinking, icy dread? This is that feeling, except the texter wears a fisherman’s raincoat and carries a hook. The killer isn’t a ghost or a monster—he’s the consequences of your actions in a very wet coat.
And here’s why you care: we all have that one thing we hope nobody ever finds out about. For the characters, it’s a dead body. For us, it might be a secret we told a friend or a bill we “forgot” to pay. The movie taps into that universal anxiety.
