Brittney Dwyer is the kind of girl who never quite fit in. Obsessed with all things grim and macabre, Brittney has few friends, and spends most of her time doing drugs and watching horror movies. Low on money after moving out on her own, Brittney comes up with a deadly scheme to get rich quick – kill her grandfather, Robert Whitwell, and steal his $100,000 life savings, a plot she claims is inspired by American Horror Story.
