Five students enter detention, but only four leave alive. The survivors have different places in their school's social order and reasons to fear what an investigation might expose. As suspicion builds, they form an uneasy connection that challenges the reputations other people have assigned to them. Around that central mystery, Maeve Rojas and Janae Matthews develop a relationship that becomes especially important in the second season. Their romance has to coexist with secrets, divided loyalties and decisions that affect more than the people making them. The teen thriller gives queer characters room within its wider ensemble, including Janae's genderfluid identity, while asking what honesty can mean when telling the truth carries consequences.
