The truth can look different through five different sets of eyes. Five high schoolers go camping in the woods; four come back. Each one of the survivors tells the police their version of the truth. But which truth is what really happened? Remember, just because someone's an unreliable narrator, doesn't mean they're lying. Recommended By Lindsay P, Powells.com
