Back at home, Hanna sits on the couch eating ice cream, eyes glued to the television set, as the news report of Alison's resurfacing unfolds. Apparently, her body was found under the gazebo in the backyard, which had been under construction the summer before when Alison had gone missing. Suddenly, Ashley loudly enters the house... with Darren. The two kiss passionately. She then climbs the stairs with him, leading him to her bedroom, turning to exchange eye glances with Hanna, who watches guiltily frozen on the couch.
When their best friend mysteriously vanishes, four girls believe their secrets are safe forever. But when they begin to receive threatening messages, the truth may be only one text away. Set one year after the disappearance of Alison DiLaurentis, the manipulative and vindictive queen bee of their group, the series revolves around four 16-year-old girlfriends — Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin, and Emily Fields — who have lost touch with one another until each begins to receive mysterious messages from "A," suggesting that Alison is watching them. Linked by their former bond and the panic and confusion the enigmatic messages cause, the friends are suddenly reunited, though each girl has her own secrets — secrets she wants no one else to know. #PLL #PrettyLittleLiars
