The case is closed. Five years ago, Sal Singh murdered high school student Andy Bell. The police know he did it. The whole town knows he did it. But Pippa, who grew up in the same small town where the murder became a major event, isn't sure that's what happened. When she chooses the murder case as the subject of her high school thesis, she begins to uncover secrets that someone in the town is trying to hide. And if the real killer is still on the loose, how far is he willing to go to prevent Pippa from discovering the truth?
