Description
Trapped. Isolated. No way in or out. A case that police can't solve. That's only the beginning.
It's the fall of 1982...and a complete disaster for a small town built on an island. What was once considered a vacation spot, is now a prison for its locals. Until the town's police force can solve the case that has been going on for months, no one's going anywhere. But when a new case arises after what starts out as another typical Friday, things only get worse.
Told from the first-person perspectives of a few different locals, the truth of an otherwise normal town is gradually found out. Things are seen from different eyes, ranging from teenagers, one unlike the next, to a detective. Can anyone get to the bottom of what's really going on? Or is it better that the truth remains unknown?
Meet The Locals:
It starts with James Kraus, a 17-year-old quiet guy who prefers to stand on the sidelines at school, stay out of the jocks' way, and just finish high school. He has a little group of friends, and each of the guys are different, but that's what keeps it interesting. James has been hosting movie nights at his house every other Friday night for his friends for a while, but something about this Friday night ends up being different... and not in a good way.
Then there's Lonnie Garcia. He's 16, comes from Brooklyn, and hangs out with James and the rest of his friends when he feels like it. Except, these days, at the start of the new school year, Lonnie seems to be keeping to himself. His older brother, Tony, captain of the football team, is the only jock that hangs out with James and his friends on a regular basis. Even he doesn't understand why Lonnie is acting distant this year.
Carson Bell, the 17-year-old captain of the cheerleading squad, could be considered any guy's dream. Except she knew James long before she ever got that title. They were good friends for years, growing up on the same street. Then Tony Garcia moved to town during junior year. She met him through James, and they dated for an entire year. Things went sour, and it changed everything, including her friendship with James.
Detective Briar De Luca is 32 years old, and he's been the one handling the case that's been going on for five months. The case affects everyone on the island, letting no one in or out until it's solved. He seemed like the best fit for it, considering his experience of almost ten years as a cop in New York. Needless to say, he's frustrated that he can't solve it. But when the new case arises on Friday night, he's expected to set the first one aside because of the new one's importance.
