DeepSummary
The first story recounts a terrifying experience where the narrator, at age 19, was lured to a remote farm by an older acquaintance under the pretext of a party, only to narrowly escape a potentially dangerous situation thanks to the vigilance of her best friend. The friend prevented the narrator from drinking spiked drinks and getting sexually assaulted by the group of men.
The second story describes the narrator's youthful misadventure of hitchhiking across the United States, driven by a desire for adventure inspired by Jimmy Buffett's music.

Another dangerous encounter involved staying with a potentially unstable gun-owner.
The third story revolves around an online mom group where one member, Leslie, announced her pregnancy but was later revealed to be involved in an attempted murder-for-hire plot as the getaway driver for her boyfriend. The group members pieced together the shocking details as Leslie faced trial and a lengthy prison sentence for her role in the heinous crime.
