A young couple out for a leisurely day at the lake find themselves faced with one of the most infamous killers of the 20th century. Bryan Hartnell and Cecelia Shepard were victims of a brutal attack by a hooded man who called himself “The Zodiac.” They survived the initial attack after being left for dead but still faced a fierce battle to summon help. Only one would survive.
