There's a whole lot of scheming and plotting to come before August 28, but ABC Family has released the official synopsis for the upcoming Pretty Little Liars summer finale.

And it promises the reveal the identity of Maya's murderer.

Appropriately titled "The Lady Killer," the episode will likely leave viewers hanging off a very steep cliff until this drama returns (likely in January, with the exception of its special Halloween episode).

So, what exactly can you expect? Read on for the network description:

With Garrett's trial for Maya's murder starting, the town of Rosewood has become a media spectacle. At odds with her friends over Paige, Emily doesn't know where to turn when the media attention becomes too much for her. "A" sees this as a perfect opportunity and takes advantage of the situation and sends Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer on a path to a possible truce. But is "A's' peace offering real or just a trap for a much darker ending?
