Murphy Mason’s difficult routines are disrupted when she believes a young friend has been killed and finds herself unable to leave the mystery alone. Her determination draws the people closest to her into increasingly dangerous situations, including her roommate and best friend Jess Damon. Jess has a life and needs beyond supporting Murphy, and her relationship with Vanessa exposes the strain of being pulled between romantic commitment and a demanding friendship. As the investigation expands, secrets and compromises become harder to contain. This crime drama gives Jess’s relationships continuing consequences within its ensemble, while following a central mystery that moves well beyond the boundaries of the friends’ ordinary lives.
