In the sleepy suburban town of Willow Creek, Minnesota, where the winter's bite hard and the summers feel fleeting, a group of kids that once ruled their cul-de-sac with scraped knees, sleepovers, and dreams bigger than their own town. They were inseparable, chasing fireflies, building snow forts, dreaming about the future under the blinking stars.
But once high school hit, the friends split apart. By freshman year, cliques were formed, secrets grew, words were left unsaid, and three years passed without them ever sitting together again.
Now it's the summer before their senior year. Through fate, nostalgia, and a few reckless decisions, Summer, Mila, Myah, Xavier, Kimora, Nathan, Zahkari, and Daehan all find themselves together once again, forced to face who they've become and who they used to be. As old crushes resurface and betrayals come to light, the group of teens come to realize that they still need each other.
Death of Prom Queen is a bittersweet, nostalgic story about friendship, growing up, and finding your way back to the people who knew you before the world told you who to be.
