Katie Ellison lives in the town of Eastport and is about to be a high school senior. Her boyfriend Seth Turner is a member of the high school football team. She is best friends with the most popular girl in her high school. Katie seems to have the perfect life, but her perfect image has been crafted by a few white lies. She has been making out with a drama club member, Eric Flutely, behind Seth's back. To reach her goal of buying a professional camera, Katie runs for Quahog Princess for Eastport's annual Quahog Festival, even though she dislikes quahogs. However, it seems that Katie's lies will stay intact until Tommy Sullivan returns to Eastport. Katie and Tommy used to be best friends until Tommy became a social pariah after writing an article about football players cheating on the SAT, which caused Seth's older brother to lose a scholarship. To avoid being shunned by association, Katie participated in driving Tommy out of town by helping Seth spray paint Tommy Sullivan is a freak on the exterior of the new gymnasium (it is later revealed that Seth had wanted to spray paint a harsher word than freak, but Katie couldn't let him). Tommy, who used to be scrawny, has gotten confident and attractive. Katie can't help but start making out with him behind her boyfriend's back, too. She is unsure of her feelings for Tommy, especially since it seems he has returned to Eastport for more than just revenge. Katie struggles to keep her perfect image stable by telling more lies, even as she starts to realize that telling the truth might be the right thing to do.

In this first part of the Secrets. Lies. Murder. Betrayal. Guilt. Justice trilogy, Eric Walker is the typical ladies' man at Jimmy Carter High School in Ryder, a fictional town in Connecticut. In the summer of 2008, he's dating two girls at the same time: rich girl Olivia Lansing; and Kari-Ann Maloney, the best friend of the main protagonist and narrator, Erika Slatten. Erika is one of many students at J.C. High who absolutely cannot stand Eric, due to his philandering ways. Especially the fact when Walker ends up impregnating Olivia, roughly around the same time he is revealed to be a rapist toward another female student who also attended the end-of-summer beach party at the Lansings' residence. When word of his rape allegation comes out, Eric is suspended from school, causing him to be ostracized by his peers. At a Labor Day party, when everyone is having the night of their lives, Eric shows up briefly to the classmate's house to retrieve his sweater from a friend. He sees all his friends having fun without him and feels shunned to the point of making waves about being excluded. Apparently drunk, he is offered a ride home by someone at the party... But after he leaves the party, he disappears and is never seen or heard from again by his mother... Or anybody else. What happened to Eric Walker?
