During their first semester at the school, one of the students is murdered on school grounds and as the police investigate, the events and drama of the first half of the school year unravel. The show continues to follow the same students as they near graduation when another student is murdered at the graduation party. In season four, three of the original students are held back from graduating and are forced to remain in school for another year. When one of them comes under suspicion for hurting the new principal’s daughter, it’s up to them and their new classmates to solve the mystery.
