Camelia, an aspiring lawyer, is passionate about unsolved crimes and has just learned that Rory Cavendish, who made her life miserable in high school, has mysteriously died. The suspected killer is Lou McAllister, Rory's best friend, the boy who humiliated her five years ago and whom Camelia hasn't been able to forget. And now he needs her help. Lou has always been the black sheep of his family, but he never expected to end up in prison for murder. Suddenly, everyone he trusted turns their backs on him. The only one who can save him is Camelia O'Brien: Rory's first victim and the girl he hasn't stopped thinking about since they met in high school.
