Maya, Daniel, Sofia, Ryan, and Emily are a close-knit friend group, having grown up together in the same small town. Maya and Ryan are dating, and Sofia is secretly in love with Emily but has never found the courage to tell her. Daniel, meanwhile, is a bit of a ladies' man, but he's hiding a secret of his own: he's gay and has been struggling to come out to his friends and family.

One day, a local business owner is found murdered in his store, and the entire town is thrown into chaos. Maya, a budding journalist, takes it upon herself to investigate the murder and ropes the rest of the group into helping her. Along the way, they uncover secrets and scandals in their own small town, including a corrupt mayor and a drug ring operating in the shadows.

As they delve deeper into the investigation, Emily begins to realize her feelings for Sofia and the two of them embark on a tentative romance. Meanwhile, Daniel finally comes out to his friends and family, finding unexpected support from the group. 

As the investigation comes to a head, Maya and her friends realize that the murderer is someone close to them, someone they never suspected. In a dramatic climax, they confront the killer and bring them to justice, but not before their own relationships are tested and some hard truths are revealed. Through it all, the group learns to lean on each other and support each other through the ups and downs of life in a small town.
