YA
Murdered in the 1970s, Molly is a ghost who appears as a hitchhiker to drivers. When Tatum picks her up, Molly foresees Tatum's equally horrible death by school bullies and swears to protect her. Flashbacks slowly reveal how both girls came to be in danger, ratcheting up the tension. But prepare to suspend disbelief as characters act unrealistically and excessively violent and overt bullying goes unchecked.
