Let me read you a summary of The Drowning Game right now.

1:10

17-year-old Christian has a big fear of water.

1:13

It's the 90s, and his best friend, James, invites him to go whitewater rafting in Arizona.

1:18

James is well aware that Christian is not a fan of the water, and this doesn't seem like something that would be up his alley, but James is pretty persistent, and Christian eventually accepts the invitation.

1:29

What's the worst that could happen? This could be good exposure therapy.

1:33

James brings along his girlfriend, Freya.

1:35

However, when Christian spends time with James and Freya on the river, he realizes that something is really wrong with this couple.

1:42

James isn't the same person he used to be and Freya seems to be a bit afraid of him.

1:47

Plus, they get into some pretty severe arguments.

1:49

Christian really likes Freya, he actually gets some time to talk to her alone, and he thinks she's a pretty cool girl.

1:56

They do get to Whitewater Raft on their own, but something goes really wrong.

2:00

James and the other people on their trip disappear and leave the two of them, Christian and Freya, in a raft by themselves.

2:06

and then Freya falls into the water.

2:08

Christian is unable to help her.

2:10

The police end up finding her body, and it's very clear that Freya drowned in the river.

2:15

Christian is horrified.

2:16

This completely reinforces his fear of water.

2:19

Over a year passes, and he ends up as a student at Arizona State University.

2:24

While he's there, something very strange begins to happen.

2:27

He sees a girl on campus that looks just like Freya.

2:31

He obviously knows it's not her.

2:32

He saw her body, and there's no way she could have survived those rapids.

2:36

However, it's very unsettling.

2:38

Christian becomes a bit obsessed with following this girl that looks like Freya.

2:42

He goes down a bit of a stalker rabbit hole as he tries to figure out who she is and why she looks so similar to Freya.
