Plot summary
In San Benito, California, Richard Haywood and Justin Pendleton are high school seniors who appear to dislike each other: Richard is wealthy and popular, Justin a gifted loner. In secret they are close friends, and together they plot a murder they mean to be flawless, one that pins the blame on someone else. A young woman, later identified as Olivia Lake, is found strangled. The evidence left at the scene points toward Ray Feathers, the school janitor who sells Richard marijuana, and the two are counting on investigators to accept that story. Homicide detective Cassie Mayweather leads the case with her new partner, Sam Kennedy.
