Mountain Brook, Virginia. As far as towns go, it's overwhelmingly average. Nothing about it stands out. It boasts no tourist attractions, even of the smallest, most obscure type. When the weekend comes, very few of its teenage population stick around. They road-trip to the beach or to the nearest city, or do anything to get out of town. It's small and it's boring, with so little for them to do. The high school seniors loudly declare how excited they are to leave, while the freshmen and sophomores sigh with jealousy. To them, it seems like the young people are the only ones that bring any life to the town- which, honestly, isn't a lie. As much as the adults like to sigh and tut and shake their heads, the town would not be the same without the life and trouble that the teenagers bring.
The adults like to believe that the teenagers only ever seem to cause trouble, and not that they have their own troubles. Or at least, no troubles other than those shallow problems related to friends, sports, and high school. For most of the teenage population of Oakson, that is thankfully the case. They survive their four years of high school intact and move on with their lives. But, for some, high school was never going to be that easy.
Some dealt with these problems for their entire high school career. Others dealt with problems that only reared their heads in senior year. For the most part, these problems were secret. Some didn't want to share their secrets, either through pride or fear. Some couldn't share them, for reason or another. Some had problems that would be negatively affected by the input of other people. Some dealt with their problems by themselves. Others didn't deal with their problems at all.

But one night. One fateful night. One of the biggest parties of the summer was happening, and most of Mountain Brook's teenage population attended. For one night, they thought they could forget about their secrets. They thought that they could just be dumb teenagers. And for that night, they were. But the following morning, as the hosts kicked out the last few stragglers, they come across something that changes everything. One of their classmates was found dead. Foolishly, everyone let themselves believe it was an accident, or maybe suicide. But then the police confirm that the boy was murdered. And suddenly, everything starts to change. For such a sleepy town, this was unheard of. Nothing like this ever happened. The country's media catches wind of it, and suddenly journalists appear. Questions are asked. Evidence is hunted. The search for the killer begins. And bit by bit, carefully constructed facades start to crumble. Secrets are exposed, and the media makes sure everyone hears about it. And one question lingers on everyone's lips.
Who would kill to keep a secret?
