August 19, 1973: The Sawyer legacy burned to ash, leaving only Loreta's unborn child as a ghost. July 1993, Austin. I am Tatum Miller, raised by cruel parents. A letter reveals I was adopted. After a final, screaming fight, I leave with my friends—Nikki, Darryl, Ryan—and a hitchhiker named Kenny. We reach the Carson House. Inside, I find a corpse. Then I see him: Leatherface, my cousin Jedidiah, sawing through Nikki's torso. I flee to the sheriff, learn my true name, and am arrested, taken to a slaughterhouse. There, Jedidiah sees the birthmark on my shoulder. He frees me, kills the deputies, and walks me back through the dark to the house. Exhausted, I find a letter and a necklace on the table. The house belongs to me now.
