In Emerson, a wealthy suburb of Boston, life flows calmly and steadily, until the body of a murdered girl, twenty—year-old Eden Perry, is found in one of the houses. Three high school students who visited her the night before turn out to be under suspicion: Hannah, a quiet man with an unstable psyche; Jack, a cynical teenager with bad inclinations, pretending to be a leader; and Christopher, a complex outsider, desperately trying to fit into the general company. Rich parents of teenagers are ready to do anything to protect their children, even if it means "drowning" someone else. But the mother of the murdered girl is determined to establish the truth. Will a bystander who happened to be near the house where the tragedy occurred on that fateful night be able to help her?
