In this first installment, we are introduced to Pippa Fitz-Amboi, a high school senior who selects a famous missing-person case from her small town of Fairview, Connecticut, for her senior year project. The case revolves around Andie Bell, who disappeared in 2014. Sal Singh, Andie’s boyfriend, was accused of her murder but later found dead in the woods, believed to have taken his own life.

Max, another friend of Sal’s, mentions that Naomi disappeared upstairs for a while on the night Andie vanished.
Pip’s investigation takes a shocking turn when she discovers that Andie was involved in drug dealing, selling roofies for a drug dealer named Howie Bowers. Further digging uncovers a web of secrets, including Andie’s bullying of a girl named Natalie. Pip even uncovers a sinister connection between Andie and her history teacher, Mr. Ward.
