When teacher Elise Freeman is found dead, a recorded message points to years of abuse involving colleagues at Windsor Prep, one of Los Angeles’ most exclusive schools. Homicide detective Milo Sturgis is assigned the sensitive investigation and turns to psychologist Alex Delaware for insight into the people and motives surrounding the case. As they question staff, students and administrators, the prestigious academy closes ranks to protect its reputation, while contradictions in Elise’s story suggest she carried secrets of her own. The deeper Alex and Milo dig, the more the investigation exposes manipulation, hidden relationships and a culture built on privilege and silence. With suspects determined to keep the truth buried and the danger steadily escalating, the pair must separate fact from deception before another life is lost.
