But when that day keeps repeating-again and again-Allison is forced to relive the same classes, same awkward interactions, and same mounting sense of dread. She soon learns she's not the only one stuck in this endless cycle-Shelly Duvall, a rebellious underachiever with a chip on her shoulder, is also trapped in the loop. At first, the two girls clash. Allison is determined to fix the loop and get back to her carefully curated future, while Shelly is content to break rules and test limits without consequence. But as they dig deeper, they uncover the horrifying truth: Principal Jenks, obsessed with the school's academic prestige, has been murdering students who don't meet his standards-and he's trapped in the loop with them. As reality unravels, Allison and Shelly must set aside their differences to outwit Jenks, escape the loop, and expose the rot at the heart of their seemingly perfect school. But with time constantly resetting, how do you fight evil that knows your every move? A twisted blend of Groundhog Day and Heathers, Looped is a gripping teen horror-thriller that explores the dark side of academic pressure, the unlikely bonds forged in crisis, and the cost of perfection in a corrupt system.
