A dead model student, a clique with a criminal past, and a headmistress with her own agenda: Arthur Otto Falkenberg is dead. He lies dead in the schoolyard, covered with a blanket to hide the blood. While the police assume it was suicide, Cassidy and her friends are asked by the headmistress to look after the other students and keep their ears open to prevent a scandal at the school. But soon, evidence mounts that there's more to Arthur's death. How do drug purchases fit with the image of the model student? How many of the students' tears are actually tears of joy? As Cassidy takes up the investigation herself, she and her clique find themselves under police scrutiny. Because one of them knew the deceased better than she's letting on.
