It was a cool night when Lisa stepped in to check on her best friend and neighbour, Sarah, but the sight she met was one she never imagined. Sarah Monroe was found dead in her room, a bit more than three months after her arrival. 

Sarah - the cherry beloved of Liddenville. Although a stranger who hadn't been in town for long, she quickly gained the love and care of most people. One of them being the Mayor's son, leading to a romantic relationship much to the dislike of the Mayor.

Investigation from different directions begins in earnest and truths that were very well hidden come to light. Events from that night begin to unravel, revealing much more about Sarah than Lisa ever knew. Although the clues seem to bring her closer to the killer, she can't help but feel farther from the truth.
