Absurd, right? That\u2019s what Chris always assumed, until, after one reckless night at the beginning of senior year, she finds herself infected. Now she\u2019ll be cast out to the woods to live with the other infected, where a chilling, new threat emerges: a serial killer who\u2019s hunting them one-by-one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This marks the latest attempt to adapt \u201cBlack Hole\u201d for the screen, but the first such attempt for television.
